Building a strong network of African companies that understand that:
The awareness of data as the most critical asset for an organization keeps growing but the results will not follow and despite large investments to manage this crescent entry of data,
And that most organizations are still unable to retrieve the meaningful insights that will enable them to take advantage of the potential created by all this data.
