Closing Notes
Systems automation will ensure efficiency, and increase
productivity without the need for heavy investment
Network & System technologies are becoming distributed and less
capital intensive allowing utilities to focus on their core business
African Utilities need to leverage local System Integrators, and
Network Services providers with significant African footprint
African Network Providers and Systems Integrators have now
matured to global standards and serve complex and critical
industry verticals.
