Increased investments in relevant new technologies like mobile, cloud and big data analytics that offer advanced solutions and services are essential for West Africa’s socio-economic development.
In practically all sectors of the regional economy, these advanced technologies allow economies and companies to ensure the integrity of their data assets, providing them with hitherto unseen levels of data mining capabilities which, allows them to derive fresh insights and business intelligence from these data.
These salient points were made recently by Taiwo Otiti, Country General Manager for IBM West Africa, on the sidelines of the HR Leaders Africa Summit held recently in Lagos.
