South Africa’s Telkom Business is on a mission to become a full-stack solution for small businesses, helping them use digital tools to get online, acquire customers, and become more productive. The company also appears to have ambitions to be a key player in South Africa’s estimated R10.4 billion Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market.
Telkom has recently added two pieces to the stack via partnerships with all-in-one business software company Zoho (Out-of-Box Software) and data security player BlackFog (Out-of-the-Box Secure), according to a report in StartupAfrica.
Telkom is offering the Zoho suite (including CRM, finance, marketing, HR) on a self-purchase basis through its online marketplace, as the screen capture above shows. The BlackFog security products do not yet appear to be live on the Telkom business marketplace.
