OREANDA-NEWS. Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed Adapt IT today announced it has acquired 49% of Uyandiswa Project Management Services, a 100% black woman-owned project management consultancy. This forms part of its significant and increasing commitment to enterprise development and further demonstrates Adapt IT as one of South Africa's most empowered providers of leading IT services and solutions.

"We foresee excellent synergies between our businesses, both of which are firmly established and committed to being leading broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) companies. Adapt IT has successfully retained its level 3 B-BBEE status, is ranked the 28th most empowered company on the JSE, and sixth within the ICT sector. Uyandiswa is a 100% black woman-owned business, which is not only highly capable in ICT delivery, but favourably influences its customers' B-BBEE scorecards," says Sbu Shabalala, CEO of Adapt IT.

Amanda Dambuza, founder and CEO of Uyandiswa, says her company shares similar values and integrity to that of Adapt IT. She anticipates the partnership will prove to be a very successful and valuable one for all concerned: "We are committed to service excellence and have an unwavering obligation to achieve business outcomes, which is an approach that runs deep within Adapt IT."
