IDC & Zoho Roundtable
The Unified Enterprise: Efficiency, Privacy and Growth Without Compromise
Sponsored by
South African enterprises are chasing growth on a tighter leash. While the shift toward digital is real and accelerating, with digital revenue expected to top 75% by 2030, business and IT leaders are under greater pressure to show financial results from digital investments. In an enterprise that works through disconnected systems, that digital goal is hard to come by. CRM, finance and collaboration systems that were never built to talk to each other slow down every decision.
The result is duplicated data and IT teams patching gaps instead of building for growth. Interoperability, systems working as one instead of a stack of point solutions bolted together, is what turns digital investment into the financial results boards are now demanding.
IDC and Zoho are hosting an exclusive gathering of C-level and senior IT leaders in Johannesburg to examine how unifying core business systems can cut integration complexities and strengthen data control without slowing growth.
Attendees leave with a clear read on where their own systems create hidden cost, compliance or experience risk, and a blueprint for closing that gap.
