  • Partnering for Good Marketing Society Excellence Awards
    Partnering for good Marketing Society Excellence Awards Connected Conservation: We believe our children deserve a world in which animals roam free Partnering for good Marketing Society Excellence Awards Executive Summary Rhino poaching has reached crisis proportions in South Africa: one rhino gets poached every eight hours, and if this rate of poaching continues, the rhino could be non-existent by 2025. As a company that holds conservation close to our hearts, we knew that there had to be a way to use our technological expertise to find a solution. In 2015, we partnered with Cisco and a private game reserve in South Africa to launch the Connected Conservation programme – the first partnership of its kind. The aim of the initiative is to use technology to tackle the problem of rhino poaching and, at the same time, raise global awareness around the bigger issue of poaching endangered species. Together with Cisco, and with the expert local knowledge from the reserve, we used sensors, cameras and software to track the movement of people in and out of the park, rather than trying to track the location of the rhinos. The pilot project resulted in a 96% reduction in rhino poaching in 2016. To celebrate, once the pilot project proved successful, we launched an integrated marketing programme using global print, online, and broadcast media. This included a media trip to the game reserve where the solution was rolled out, a video collaboration with CNN, and an augmented reality app, which was featured in The Economist. We also created a worldwide internal engagement campaign targeting our 28,000 employees.

  • Dimension Data Enhances Delivery of Managed Security Services with Algosec
    DIMENSION DATA ENHANCES DELIVERY OF MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES WITH ALGOSEC IT Solution Provider Streamlines and Automates Customer Name Security Operations for Clients Dimension Data Australia Line of Business AlgoSec Business Impact IT services and solutions provider for managed infrastructures • Generate incremental revenue from new policy compliance management services Location • Reduce cost of service for Managed Security Service offering Melbourne, Australia • Improve quality of service, assuring a direct and timely response to security issues dimensiondata.com Background Dimension Data, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Africa, provides global specialized IT services and solutions to help their clients plan, build, support and manage their IT infrastructures. The company serves over 6,000 clients in 58 countries and in all major industry verticals. Dimension Data serves 79% of the Global Fortune Top 100 and 63% of the Global Fortune 500. Challenge In an effort to bring greater efficiency and flexibility, Dimension Data Australia sought to apply security industry best practices and streamlined processes to its delivery methodology. Automation was identified as a key capability that would enable them to reduce service costs and increase quality of service. “The operational management of security infrastructure is quite labor intensive,” remarks Martin Schlatter, Security Services Product Manager at Dimension Data. “The principle reasons for automating managed services are reducing work time, freeing up people for other tasks, and leveraging expertise that is ‘built in’ the automated tool.” By doing this Dimension Data could offer better service to existing clients while expanding their client base. “Additionally, the increased appetite for the Managed Security Services offering has been fueled by an increasing focus on governance, risk management and compliance, and we are expected to deliver faster and more accurate visibility of the security and compliance posture of the network,” explains Schlatter.

Despite having a global workforce of over 12,000 and revenues last year of £3 billion, Dimension Data is one of those companies that is a towering giant within the IT community but largely anonymous outside.
