Despite challenging conditions in this territory, Alicornio Africa has officially announced that their reach will extend into Africa. On this bold new move for the information integration consultancy, Susan Andre, MD of Alicornio Africa says, “Our territory for distribution is now inclusive of Nigeria, and once we have established a foothold in that market we will consider further expansion into other areas in Africa.”
For the past six years, Alicornio Africa (previously known as Sagent Southern Africa) has focussed on the distribution of Information Integration, Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing and Data Cleansing technologies, namely Sagent owned and developed by Group 1 Software, a Pitney Bowes company. Earlier this year saw the company branching into Customer Communications Management and Real-Time BI by marketing and supporting the DOC1 and Istante Software solutions respectively.
From the perspective of demand, comments Andre, “there has been a strong and increasing demand for solutions such as the unique Data Flow technology designed by Group 1, to assist organisations in Nigeria for addressing their Data Integration challenges, data cleansing, data warehouse development and ultimately becoming more Business Intelligent through effective utilisation of their data.”
