On the cover of August's edition of Intelligent CIO Africa, we're delighted to feature Greg Hay, Technology Manager, SPAR South Africa. SPAR Group has embraced modernisation of its multi-office, multi-country IT operations by introducing Copilot for Microsoft 365 and AI to transform employee experience, while launching e-commerce operations on SD-WAN to expand sales and store productivity.

In this month's Talking Business feature, Warren Hawkins, Managing Director of Euphoria Telecom, explains that African end users are willing to pay a higher price if they perceive value in return. This value can come in many forms, such as product quality, efficiency, and superior customer service.
