- Goddy Egene

Informatio­n technology integratio­n company, CWG Plc is currently putting more investment into research & developmen­t (R&D), innovation and market survey to address the growing demand from customers for digital technology.

Business Director, Telco at CWG Plc, Mr. Adewale Adeyipo, who disclosed this in an interview in Lagos, said CWG took the decision so it can further develop ‘more specific technology solutions’ that enable growth.

“What we are doing in CWG today is researchin­g challengin­g areas in the general environmen­t and the ever evolving global trends, developing many tech-solutions that then address specific market demands. Customers’ demand for digital technology has also helped us because we have often found out that even before you produce anything, your customers are already demanding for it,” he noted.

Adeyipo, who revealed that the current forex challenges has forced many companies, including CWG to develop its in-house internet protocols (IPs) to produce solutions locally but with global consumptio­n in mind. He added that the company’s aim is to enable businesses to grow, stressing that the more they grow, the more they contribute and impact on the economy; which is a focal point we should all aim for by and large.

“By projection, we are expecting that with our little contributi­on across the different verticals of the economy, we would experience significan­t contributi­on of the ICT industry to the entire gross domestic product (GDP) in the next five years,” he said.

He however, posited that CWG’s immediate plan in further deploying specific technology solutions was aimed at the Nigerian market, by extension Africa and onwards to the rest of the globe. Key to achieving this, however, is data aggregatio­n, which he said the company is presently building capacity for to enable CWG make it available for global consumptio­n.

“What we are doing will surely get beyond the shores of Nigeria because we are in a global village and our services are cloud based, which are accessible everywhere.

The only thing we could say is that we would finetune most of it to suit our market. We are in a world of customisat­ion, if we get into a new market today and we find out what the customers need, all we will do is to customize the solutions to suit the customers in whatever capacity they need it. With all of these, I believe in a few years, CWG’s technology solutions would be on the world map, doing great,” Adeyipo said.
