These tailored solutions are developed to integrate smoothly with your current workflows, allowing you to use them without altering your established processes.

Idea Validation and Estimation

This phase focuses on bridging the gap between your intended creation and its potential market demand. We validate assumptions, hypotheses, and estimates to determine the real interest in your product.

Prototype or MVP

Creating a prototype or Minimum Viable Product (MVP) allows us to test your preliminary research and ideas in a practical setting. Both approaches enable us to evaluate the feasibility of your concepts, make necessary adjustments with agility, and manage resources efficiently.

Design and Development

During the design phase, we gather your requirements and feedback to craft a visual representation of your product. In the development phase, our Agile software development team takes over to build the product, handling the infrastructure, frontend, and backend components.

Network Connectivity

Network connectivity refers to the comprehensive process of linking various parts of a network using routers, switches, gateways, and other technologies, ensuring seamless communication.

At SGB & Co. Africa, we excel in establishing and maintaining connections between multiple points in a telecommunications system. This includes scenarios such as connecting a home or office to the internet or linking a digital camera to a computer or printer.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that connects devices within a limited area, such as a home or office building. These devices are linked through shared network equipment, such as broadband routers or network switches, allowing them to communicate with each other and with external networks.

Dial-Up Connections

Dial-up networks use standard telephone lines to enable TCP/IP communications, providing connectivity for data transmission over these traditional phone lines.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) comprises the hardware, software, and connections necessary to facilitate secure client-server communications over public network infrastructures. It employs a method known as tunneling to ensure privacy and protection.

This reimagining of business operations in the digital era is what digital transformation is all about.

It goes beyond traditional functions such as sales, marketing, and customer service. Digital transformation begins and ends with how you perceive and engage with customers. As we transition from paper to spreadsheets to smart applications for managing our business, we have the opportunity to reinvent our business practices and customer engagement with the aid of digital technology.

Core Operations Automation

We design and implement technologies to produce and deliver goods and services with minimal human intervention, increasing efficiency and productivity.
