Insights and guides for South African organisations

They are written for the people who choose, fund and run technology in South African organisations: IT directors, finance directors, procurement officers, board members, municipal managers, principals and bursars. Each guide defines its terms and assumes no specialist knowledge, and where you are buying, it gives the questions to put to a supplier.

Every guide shows the month it was last reviewed, and every figure that is not ours carries its source and date. Vendor prices for products such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace change often, so the pricing guides explain what drives the cost and where current prices are published.

No guide assumes the answer is us. Each sets out the options on their merits, including in-house IT and other ways to buy. Where we provide the service, the guide says how we deliver it and links to the service page, so our advice and our offer stay clearly apart and you can hold us to the same questions as any other supplier.

Server Hub, our IT hardware division, publishes hardware buying guides, a Microsoft 365 price guide  (opens serverhub.co.za) and a catalogue of more than 26,000 products priced in rand with VAT included; request a hardware quote  (opens serverhub.co.za). Fibre Boyz, our connectivity division, connects uncapped business fibre and fixed LTE: check connectivity for your office  (opens fibreboyz.co.za).

Yes. Most engagements begin with discovery and an assessment: we document what you run, where the risks sit and what should change, then set out the scope, the service levels and the price in a written proposal. Talk to us to arrange one, or call 010 447 2445.
