SEACOM partners with ICT SMME Chamber to support South African telecom SMMEs

SEACOM and the ICT SMME Chamber have formalised their collaboration with a newly signed memorandum of understanding (MoU), aiming to significantly bolster support for small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) within the telecommunications sector. That strategic partnership is set to empower SMMEs by providing them access to SEACOM’s channel partner program, which offers a comprehensive suite of support services.

These include the installation, maintenance, and support of digital infrastructure, as well as facilitating marketing initiatives, inter-business coordination, and personnel training. Through these efforts, SMMEs will gain the opportunity to leverage advanced digital services, with SEACOM providing resources such as Cloud, Connectivity, On-premise Network, and Cybersecurity solutions. This approach is designed to accelerate the digital strategies of SMMEs and enhance their operational efficiency.

SEACOM and the ICT SMME Chamber recognise the vital role of SMMEs in driving economic growth and job creation in South Africa. The MoU underscores their commitment to advancing an inclusive digital economy. The signing ceremony in Bryanston, Johannesburg, highlighted the importance of the initiative and its potential impact on South Africa’s digital landscape. By combining their resources, SEACOM and the ICT SMME Chamber aim to support SMMEs, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute to a more dynamic and equitable economy.
