Imperial enters telecoms milieu
JSE-listed Imperial Holdings has entered the mobile and telecommunications industry through the acquisition of mobile technology firm ForeFront Africa (FFA).
FFA will form part of the newly launched Resolve brand and become Resolve Mobile. This will allow the companies to work together seamlessly and provide the best possible digital and mobile strategies for the group, as well as clients and partners, says Imperial in a statement.
“Imperial is excited to enter into the strategically critical mobile technology arena, alongside a team with such notable skills and extensive African experience,” says Imperial chief integration officer Cobus Rossouw. “We are now well placed to partner our clients in leveraging the potential of mobile commerce in their value chains.”
Tracy Langdon Surkont and Nicholas Haralambous founded ForeFront Africa earlier this year after both had exited separate ventures, and having worked together at Vodacom South Africa. Haralambous and Surkont spotted a market requirement for skilled, experienced mobile talent willing to work in African countries.
“Tracy and I knew that we were onto some- thing when we were approached by com-panies throughout Africa and further afield to make use of our services,” says Haralambous. “Partnering with Imperial Holdings will bring massive opportunities to our company and assist in growth which we would have battled to achieve otherwise.”
Resolve Mobile’s clients include wireless application service providers and mobile network operators, as well as social networks from around the world.
