Is urban regeneration viable in South Africa today?: As cities age, buildings deteriorate and become overcrowded. Residential areas expand further from the CBD, causing commerce to follow, until the city centre is merely a ghost of its former self. Rentals drop, vacancies rise and criminal elements often move in, making an erstwhile vibrant CBD dangerous and unproductive for both commerce and residents. Investor […] – MyPE News

Global software release kicks off in East London

The international launch of landmark management software, developed by a team led by well-known businessman Niels Andersen, kicks off in East London yesterday.

Together with fellow engineer Aubrey Bahula and enterprise architect Dave Sokolich, the product is fast-gaining traction in South Africa with plans underway to build global partners.

The software, newly-developed for the web, has an impressive incubation track record with the product having already being implemented at 100-year old JSE-listed York Timber in Nelspruit, one of the country’s foremost timber companies in South Africa, as well as engineering firm Fabkomp in King William’s Town.

Its latest site is at the Port Elizabeth-based Tier 2 automotive supplier, Formex Industries, whose ambitious expansion plans are already underway.

Andersen says Activios is principally transformation solution software that enables management to manage across an organisation while at the same time measuring tiered company scorecards.

“However,” he says, “it is so much more than that.  It is an enabler of a high-performance leadership culture and style that is founded on values of respect, transparency, performance, integrity and accountability.

“These values,” he explains, “also build a culture where employees are informed-engaged-empowered and, ultimately, a critical part of the engine that drives a business’s metamorphosis into a world-class organisation.”

The transparent nature of the software allows for results in improved understanding for employees which, in turn, influences their behaviour to understand better and more effectively execute business strategy.  The result is a winning culture which is more sustainable in the long-term and acts as a catalyst for innovation.

He quotes the latest Gallup research which gives some perturbing insight into how companies are suffering because of their disconnected workforce.

Gallup estimates that about 85% of employees are disengaged at work with losses in productivity estimated at R105 trillion.

What’s more, 70% of companies who have a well-formulated business strategy fail due to poor execution.

There is still more bad news.  Only 2% of leaders are confident they will achieve over 80% of their strategic objectives.  Only 55% of organisations achieve less than 50% of their strategic objectives. Lastly, a staggering 95% of employees do not understand their organisation’s strategy.

According to Gallup, there is an upside for businesses that commit to building a winning culture.

Gallup lists five benefits: a 22% improvement in profitability, 37% less absenteeism, 21% more productivity, 41% fewer quality defects and significantly lower staff turnover.

Andersen explains that the system allows organisations to communicate and implement the strategy in a way that is integrated with the business’s various functions, operational, compliance and operating systems with the required frequency.

Andersen is clear on the role of the software, which is based on a methodology and systems thinking that he has experienced globally as a consultant in operational excellence.

“This system does not replace the management function.  Instead, this software provides a powerfully integrated structure for management to operate very efficiently and create a foundation for continuous improvement.”

It does so by allowing for easy communication, recording, tracking and management of projects and important activities.

Freshmark Systems CEO Dave Larkan agrees:  “What has surprised me is that the promised benefits are being delivered.  Activios gives us the tool that organises our communication, structures, records and links.  This gives you a handle on what is going on and reduces the stress not only for me but everyone in the organisation.”

The software, which can be Cloud-based, is optimally configured for a business following a five-step process of business mapping, configuration, implementation followed by support and enhancements.

Sub-Saharan African Activios principal, Aubrey Bahula, says the software comes alongside management to help create an environment for success.

“The 4th Industrial Revolution has begun,” says Bahula.

“Industry is becoming increasingly digitised … the production, processing, assimilation and access of operational data, which until now has required manual interpretation and reaction to disparate dashboards and reporting platforms, will soon be driven by real-time, integrated, accurate to a fault, and transparent information portals and dashboards that give early adopters the competitive edge.

“Activios is a groundbreaking technological enabler of lean operational excellence and high-performance culture in organisations that are ready to embrace the 4th Industrial Revolution and win in the decades to come.”

Software provider e4 sides with Conveyancers in battle against ProxiSmart

Software provider e4 sides with Conveyancers in battle against ProxiSmart:

Clive Bredenkamp, Head of e4’s Legal Studio division

Software as a Service technology company, e4 has reiterated its support for conveyancers and legal practitioners following a recent ruling in the Pretoria High Court, which found that administrative processes inherent to property transfers in South Africa should remain within the ambit of the legal fraternity.

Despite the High Court’s dismissal of newly established ProxiSmart and its business model, which proposed aspects of administrative work within property transfers be dealt with outside the legal profession, ProxiSmart now plans to launch an appeal.

“Conveyancers are highly skilled and qualified members of the legal profession and provide a specialised, professional service. For numerous reasons, our view is that it is in the public interest for this work to remain in practiced hands,” says Clive Bredenkamp, Head of e4’s Legal Studio division.

Papers filed by ProxiSmart in the High Court suggest the use of a custom-built, partitioned conveyancing software platform. “For a newly established entity like ProxiSmart, it is our view that the creation of such a platform would take years to complete in order to cater for the level of functionality and integration with institutions as described in the court papers. e4 approached ProxiSmart twice with a written request for more detail on whether the platform has been built and its current state of readiness, or if they have engaged with an existing software vendor in this regard. ProxiSmart’s response was that it would not be appropriate to comment until the case before the court is finalised including the appeal. The judgment of the court states that it is common cause that ProxiSmart has not yet developed the software, but this gives no status as to how it is being built.”

“Given that e4 is categorically not involved with this initiative, the market should be asking how this software platform is being or will be provided and by whom, with the intent on disrupting the conveyancing process,” notes Bredenkamp.

“e4 sees a very different future for conveyancers. We firmly believe in empowering our attorney clients by providing them with the best digital platforms and products, allowing them to deliver, efficient services to the consumer. A number of our new mobile apps are geared at exactly that and seek to build on our long-standing relationships with our conveyancing clients,” adds Bredenkamp.

“In our opinion, the ProxiSmart business model, which seeks to change and disrupt the current status quo, is cause for great concern and would profoundly undermine and disempower conveyancers, should the forthcoming court appeal succeed. The major banks are also likely to look unfavourably on any party looking to try to take control of the market in this way. In our view, there was too little focus in the initial court papers on the technology side of the proposed platform and how ProxiSmart intend providing this, which is critically important. A closed platform for a small, select set of users is simply not a constructive approach to the future of the industry. Instead, the expertise of the profession combined with the incredible technology that is becoming more readily available from a range of tech companies is the way to improve efficiencies and move the profession and the market forward.”

Bredenkamp says e4 is in agreement with various legal bodies, that conveyancers are best placed to continue the responsibility for ensuring legally sound property transfers. “The conveyancer is the trusted custodian of the property transfer process and it is only right that all work involved in that process is reserved for the conveyancer.”
