MBABANE – MTN Eswatini Chief Executive Officer Wandile Mtshali has called for
the local businesses to intensify diversification and digitise their operations.
Mtshali said inasmuch as a lot of work when it comes to internet connectivity in
the country has been done, there are still areas that are lagging behind. He
said this includes embracing the cloud data transition. He said most businesses
in Eswatini had not yet tapped into this space.
Transition
Cloud data transition, also known as cloud migration, is the process of moving
data, applications and other business elements from an on-premises or other
cloud environment to a cloud computing platform. The goal of the cloud data
transition is to increase flexibility, accessibility and scalability, while also
reducing operational expenses. He said otherwise, Eswatini has made significant
strides in the networking space, as it currently sits at around 98 per cent of
broadband connectivity. He said this the country one of the highest
broadband-connected countries in Africa.
