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.
