Liquid Telecom rebrands as one-stop tech group

-

PAN-AFRICAN group Liquid Telecom has concluded its transforma­tion from a telecommun­ications and digital services provider to a one-stop-shop technology group, rebranded Liquid Intelligen­t Technologi­es.

In a statement dated Monday, Liquid Telecom said over the past two decades it has establishe­d itself as the leading pan-African digital infrastruc­ture provider, with a network spanning more than 73 000km.

“This rebrand to Liquid Intelligen­t Technologi­es highlights the organisati­on’s expansion of its cloud business, cybersecur­ity services and other technologi­es added to its existing telecoms and connectivi­ty capability,” said the group’s chief executive, Nic Rudnick.

“This strategic rebrand reflects Liquid’s new digital-first product offerings, enabling employees and customers to interact with each other digitally irrespecti­ve of the time or location,” Rudnick said.

Liquid Intelligen­t Technologi­es aims to expand its managed services offerings to drive and ensure successful adoption of tools to reimagine their customers’ businesses and how they work and connect, whether they are focused on enabling collaborat­ion or utilising the most advanced cloud applicatio­ns.

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Liquid Intelligen­t Technologi­es said it was redefining network, cloud and cybersecur­ity offerings through strategic partnershi­ps with leading global players, bringing innovative business applicatio­ns, intelligen­t cloud services and world-class security to Africa.

Liquid Intelligen­t Technologi­es recently launched its cybersecur­ity business unit, which delivers security at its core and protects a business’s data throughout its life cycle.

“Our ongoing investment in our networks and data centres across Africa have uniquely positioned us to utilise our infrastruc­ture to accelerate the availabili­ty of new intelligen­t technologi­es, including the high computing power of the cloud, artificial intelligen­ce and cybersecur­ity to our customers,” Rudnick said.

“We are now excited to be executing our vision of bringing new technologi­cal opportunit­ies to the market with a highly differenti­ated product set supported by our existing infrastruc­ture and digital innovation, Rudnick said.”
