InfoWizz has a keen interest in the utilisation of our knowledge and skills for social and economic development. As a result, most of our projects are in the ICT4Development arena. Furthermore, we have identified this as a key priority in our recruitment strategy as well. InfoWizz hand-picks and employs graduates from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. We equip them with research, content management, knowledge management and information technology skills i.e. giving them the full benefit of our background and experience. We then expose them to the client environment on our projects, first as interns, and later as properly functional members and valuable resources on the project team. In this way, we equip them with skills that are scarce in South Africa, and were previously the preserve of a privileged few. It is our intention to create entirely new career opportunities for our staff, and we do this by developing their skill sets and exposing them to environments which open the doors to a whole new realm of possibilities.
Â
Given our core focus of social and economic development, InfoWizz's clients are primarily government and small business. Our work is usually in the areas of:
1. Knowledge management
2. Content management
3. Project management
4. Research services
5. We also provide some specialist consulting work to libraries as 50% of our staff have some form of library qualification.
