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.
