HOW WE ARE WIRED
The last decade has seen ICT technologies redefine how the world thinks. Professor Klaus Schwab (World Economic Forum,) believes that: “The new technology age, if shaped in a responsive and responsible way, could catalyse a new cultural renaissance that will enable us to feel part of something much larger than ourselves…”. Achieving such an objective requires, among others, two critical spices;
- Building International Cooperation
- Building integrated companies
At PTCG, we have continuously committed ourselves to building a fully integrated international company. That is why on a daily basis, we invest in the critical values of international cooperation. This culture has seen our relatively young company, establish a very fruitful partnership with Real Systems, a leading 4IR company based in Estonia.
This partnership has not only strung invaluable technological business values in the areas of Information Systems, Cybersecurity, and other related software; it has also engineered advanced plans to set up the PTCG Software & Applications Development Hub, as well as a Cybersecurity Training Institute in Doornpoort, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa.
PTCG operates a culture of teamwork, openness and support. In this casting, everyone is encouraged to strive for innovation, creativity, excellence and technological mastery, with which we tackle the most complex of projects and proffer diligent solutions.
Creating social value remains a key component in the heart of our operations. It is something we do because it is right for our clients, right for their communities, right for the environment, and right for us. It has never been a tick box exercise.
Our clients include national governments, provincial government, local government, corporates, Small and Medium Size Companies, Non-governmental Organizations, Universities, Property and Real Estate companies, Retailers, Hospitals, Commercial firms in every sector.
