SA Tech Leaders are Being Asked to Do More With Less and Spinnaker Support has A Strategy for That
South Africa’s technology leaders are navigating one of the most demanding periods in recent memory. Boards are demanding AI capability. Regulators are tightening compliance requirements. Operational costs are rising. And technology budgets, already stretched by rand depreciation and global economic uncertainty, are expected to deliver more than ever before. For CIOs, CTOs, and CFOs trying to balance all of this simultaneously, the traditional approach to managing enterprise technology is no longer sufficient. Enterprise software costs have become one of the largest and least flexible line items on the technology balance sheet, consuming budget that organisations would rather direct towards innovation,...
Why beneficial Ownership is still One of Business’s Biggest blind spots
When organisations conduct due diligence on a new customer, supplier or business partner, there’s often a sense of reassurance once the basics have been verified. The company registration checks out, the directors are identified, and the necessary documentation has been collected. The onboarding process moves forward with confidence.

In today’s increasingly complex business environment, legal ownership and beneficial ownership are not always the same thing. While legal ownership identifies the individuals...

Thought Leadership | Confidence is not evidence: Why backup Strategy needs a Reality check
Confidence is not evidence: why backup strategy needs a reality check Nicolas Blank of NBConsult, a division of Cyberlogic, argues that a backup only counts once it has been proven to restore under pressure. Backup, disaster recovery and operational resilience are often used interchangeably in boardroom conversations, but they are three distinct disciplines that each carry their own risk if left unaddressed. This is according to Nicolas Blank, CTO at NBConsult, a division of Cyberlogic, part of the Hyperclear Tech group, who says organisations that conflate the three are frequently the ones caught out when ransomware strikes. “Backup protects recoverable...
