IT Solutions and Telecommunications
Veritech started out with a focus on turn-key IT solutions and telecommunication services. Our IT solutions were primarily targeting the development, deployment and management of large-scale databases such as population registers, passport systems, voters’ registers, births and deaths registers, etc.
The technologies that Veritech specialized in were data collection and reporting systems, automated fingerprint, iris and facial recognition systems, ID card production, datacenter deployments, database development and project management. Geographically, the focus was the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Veritech technicians and experts also consulted for the UNDP on electoral projects especially.
To provide telephony and internet services in South Africa, Veritech acquired 2 licenses from ICASA in 2014:
- The Individual Electronic Communications Service (IECS) license, which enables Veritech to provide electronic communications services to customers over its own or via another company’s network. It is also used for providing services such as Internet access, email and virtual private networks.
- An Individual Electronic Communications Network Service (IECNS) license allows Veritech to deploy and operate a physical network across a province or the entire country.
