Mr. Wale Adeyipo, Ag. Group managing director, CWG plc, has reeled out his strategic thrust for business remodelling to move the company to the next level in delivery of ICT services in Africa.
According to him “the remodelling will be anchored on five pillars which are Growth, Profits, Liquidity, Brand and Dividend. As part of the remodelling, each unit in CWG can become an organization by every scale. Whether it’s the ATM Business, the banking Software unit, the Gaming Business, the CWG academy and lots more, these are large entities and they ought to be treated as such.
“We will operate inside one organization, several units that see themselves as an organization with a clear strategy and roadmap based on the dynamics and realities of their business and market landscape. It cannot be one size fits all.
“We will continue to grow and improve our competency framework on services leveraging the existing customer base to scale-up to other sectors and verticals.
“Today, we have over 200 resources supporting the major telecommunication companies in Nigeria and other operations in Africa. We have over 100 skilled resources (level 2-4) in Nigeria responsible for support and customization on Finacle core, treasury, managed services, end-user, and specific audience targeted training, resource augmentation, data migration, and 3rd party integration.
Adeyipo noted that CWG’s focus from 2018 is to help organizations to embrace change by moving away from large scale, inflexible project deployment towards more agile systems that meet the demands of today’s fast-moving business environments.
“We have created an ecosystem of partners and solution providers that would provide the required expertise for every IT deployments/ optimization exercise.
“With a renewed focus on business and technical architecture, we partnered with Gartner (a leading research and advisory company) in January 2019 for strategy alignment, people, process and best practices.
“Today, we are positioned to provide services on end-to-end governance frameworks, network, and IT systems, and develop digital transformation strategies that may include new cloud, operations/ DevOps, Security/ Risk management and Business efficiency solution,” he said.
He added that the emergence of the tier 3 and 4 financial institutions have created a lot of opportunities. “We see the drive from most organizations to use technology to drive business process optimization, promote better operational efficiency and to create platforms for new revenue streams. All these have created a lot of opportunities for IT companies like CWG,” he said.
