South African businesses are rethinking who controls their enterprise technology ?

▤ Summary

South African organisations are increasingly questioning vendor-driven timelines for enterprise upgrades as they face pressure to cut costs, manage risk, and demonstrate ROI. Businesses running platforms like SAP, Oracle, and VMware are reassessing traditional support and upgrade models that force upgrades on vendor schedules. Spinnaker Support is expanding into South Africa, backed by African Rainbow Capital, to offer independent third-party support that extends system lifecycles, reduces support costs, and lets companies decide upgrade timing based on business readiness. The approach aims to help firms manage local cost pressures, currency volatility, compliance requirements, and uneven readiness for large-scale transformation.
