\n\n\u201cThe acquisition has been carefully planned to cause minimum disruption to our clients. The leadership and team remain the same, and the way we engage with our clients will stay unchanged but with the added benefit of having the resources of a much larger, JSE listed, entity behind us,\u201d he says. \u201cCaseWare is the world leader in financial reporting and audit software, and has achieved dominance in South Africa because of the local team\u2019s passion for what they do and their obsession with delivering the highest level of customer service to all clients, regardless of size. All of that remains in place, as it has done since the acquisition was announced.\u201d\n\nHampton confirms that the move into a larger group will yield substantial benefits to the company\u2019s current customers. \u201cBeing part of a large group is a significant advantage as the cloud era dawns. Technology is disrupting the accounting and audit profession by driving automation and supporting the creation of an ecosystem across the reporting value chain.\n\n\u201cCloud enables seamless collaboration irrespective of geography, common stores of big data and powerful analytics to derive deeper insight and so add value to customers. The role of the finance professional is transforming,\u201d Hampton says. \u201cAll of this requires considerable infrastructure and, as part of a bigger group, CaseWare Africa is even better placed to partner with its clients as they face the challenges and seize the opportunities new technologies present.\u201d\n\nCaseWare Africa has an existing team of local developers as well as audit and accounting specialists devoted to localising the software in line with relevant government and other regulations and standards.\n\nThis localisation effort will be strengthened further via access to the resources of the Adapt IT group, particularly as CaseWare\u2019s drive into other African companies gains momentum, and the software needs to be localised for each country.\n\n\u201cAfrica has been a growth focus for some time, and Adapt IT\u2019s existing footprint in Mauritius and Botswana, with Kenya soon to come, will allow us to offer in-country support and service more rapidly,\u201d says Hampton. \u201cThis acquisition adds a considerable upside for enhancing what we already offer our clients\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
