TD Africa Limited, the leading distributor of advanced technology solutions in Africa, was once again in the spotlight as it received multiple awards at the recently concluded Huawei Connect 2024, held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The event, themed “Accelerate Industrial Intelligence,” attracted policymakers, tech enthusiasts, and industry leaders. Among other highlights, it celebrated outstanding partners in its distribution chain and unveiled new additions to its solutions.
TD Africa was honoured for three key achievements: its outstanding after-sales support services, which ensure high customer satisfaction; its exceptional distribution channel, reflecting a deep understanding of the market, an extensive network, and strong relationships across the continent; and its unwavering commitment to skills development, providing partners and resellers with the necessary knowledge and expertise to effectively sell and support Huawei’s products.
To these three, TD Africa bagged the awards for Authorised Service Centre in Africa, Distributor Partner of the Year, and Training Partner of the Year, respectively.
These awards reinforce the Nigerian company’s status as a trusted partner and a key driver of Huawei’s success in Africa. TD Africa’s dedication to service, distribution excellence, and skills development aligns with the broader themes of collaboration and capacity building emphasized at the 2024 edition of Huawei Connect.
While Huawei emphasised its commitment to developing digital talent in Africa through various initiatives and collaborations to further unlock the region’s digital potentials, it also showcased its cloud computing solutions designed to empower businesses with scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency.
Buttressing this commitment, Mrs Chioma Chimere, the Coordinating Managing Director at TD Africa, said collaboration in driving digital transformation and bridging the digital divide cannot be overemphasised citing TD Africa’s existing “Technology as a Service (TaaS)” initiative, which enables SMEs to embrace digital transformation by converting upfront capital expenditures into manageable operational expenses.
“TDAFRICA is committed to empowering Africa through these initiatives and more and will continue to drive its commitment of empowering individuals and businesses on the continent, making transformational technologies accessible, affordable and usable through these initiatives,” she said.
The solutions unveiled by Huawei at the event cut across public sector, finance, power and intelligent services and they include Xinghe Intelligent Network Solution, Xinghe Intelligent Campus, Xinghe Intelligent Fabric, Xinghe Intelligent WAN and Xinghe Intelligent Network Security.
According to the company’s President, the data communications product line, Leon Wang, “these comprehensive offerings leverage AI technology and the Net5.5G target architecture to address the evolving needs of businesses in the intelligent era.”
While experts at the conference critically looked into the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies in sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing, the two-day conference also called on governments and employers of labour on the continent, to equip their workforce with requisite skills, such as TD Africa is doing, for a digital future.
To this, Panyaza Lesufi, the Premier of Gauteng Province, South Africa, tasked governments and businesses with embracing digital transformation with innovative solutions like those offered by Huawei to enhance service delivery to remain competitive in the global arena.
