Who we are
We are business analysts and infrastructure engineers with more than 15 years each in banking and enterprise IT. We have replaced a core banking system across several African countries, built onboarding journeys that meet regulatory checks, delivered card payment and anti-money-laundering projects, and recovered an enterprise from a ransomware attack.
We know where these projects stall: unclear requirements, hidden dependencies, late testing, fragile backups, and users who were never prepared for go-live.
