JSE-listed ICT group Gijima is conducting a large-scale re-appraisal of its entire business as it seeks to emerge from a difficult period. The company has endured poor financial results, key account losses, forced retrenchments, mismatched offerings outside its core competencies, and a sluggish cultural transition from box-dropper to client-centric solutions provider.

“We came to the conclusion that ‘more of the same’ is simply not an option,” a frank Tony de Sousa, Gijima’s products executive, tells Brainstorm.
