Pan-African Internet services provider (ISP), Internet Solutions has all but confirmed looming job cuts at the company as it restructures.
In a statement sent to ITWeb, Saki Missaikos, managing director of Internet Solutions, says: "As one of South Africa's leading Internet service providers, it is Internet Solutions' responsibility to continue to innovate our core connectivity, cloud and complementary business enabling services, in a way the market wants to consume them.
"In years past, we introduced a decentralised, segmented business model. While we achieved some successes with this approach, we created process and service delivery complexity. Therefore, Internet Solutions is simplifying its business model to increase responsiveness with offerings that enable self-service, enhanced visibility and flexibility.
"Realising this vision requires a comprehensive assessment and redesign of our infrastructure, processes, technologies and skills. In the past two years, we've sold non-core infrastructure assets, implemented more automation, partnered with leading vendors, and refocused our technology and people investments to accelerate the delivery of software defined services."
According to Missaikos, the ISP's next step involves a thorough review of the required skills mix to drive the next phase of evolution.
"On 17 July 2018, we announced to staff that the business is entering into a formal consultation process in a move to be more agile and responsive. Evolving our business is challenging, but we aim to navigate this process in a way which is best for our employees, partners and our business."
Internet Solutions is a South African company which was founded in 1993. It is a subsidiary of Dimension Data.
