IDU Holdings & IDU KZN Merge
Summary
CAPE TOWN, South Africa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IDU Holdings, the financial planning and analysis software company, has grown its customer base by 25% after its merger with IDU KZN, previously an independent business partner. Customers will benefit from access to IDU’s extensive support capabilities, and depth and breadth of specialist knowledge about its flagship product, idu-Concept. The merger sets IDU up for the next stage of its growth, by consolidating its footprint and building more alignment and standardisation across the organisation and its customer base. Margie Whitten, previously director and owner of IDU KZN, which she founded 14 years ago, and Standard Bank KZN Top Businesswomen for 2019, joins the IDU Holdings management team in a senior group sales role, with a focus on driving growth across the African region. “Further, the development work that the team has done over the past two years means that I have yet to see a requirement from a customer, in any industry, that we can’t accommodate.” “This merger gives us the opportunity to sharpen our focus and extend our game around the world, and specifically in Africa, our local market,” said Kevin Phillips, CEO of IDU.
