CLOUD PLATFORMS INDESPENSIBLE
Vodacom is starting to move its services to the AWS cloud already but a lot of services,
especially where there are latency issues, will be functional early next year once the AWS
region is fully operational in South Africa.
“
”Shameel Joosub
CEO of Vodacom
For Standard Bank Group to remain a leader in African financial services, we recognize we need
to adopt a cloud-first approach to our business,” said Group CEO Sim Tshabalala. "AWS Cloud
technology will create a springboard for Standard Bank Group, helping us to rapidly roll out our
digitization and data strategy to better cater to customers whose needs are constantly
evolving."
He says the move will allow the bank to "build Africa’s financial services organization of the
future and to be positioned as more than a bank” using AWS’s agility and security combined
with Standard Bank’s "customer obsession.
“
