Microsoft Ignite The Tour Johannesburg takes place from 30-31 January 2020 at the Sandton Convention Centre. Designed to showcase the latest cloud technologies and developer tools, the conference attracts hundreds of delegates eager to engage with experts from Microsoft and its partner organisations.
It’s an exciting time for the South African IT industry, with Microsoft’s local cloud data centres now open, and with the company’s ongoing efforts to empower tech startups and entrepreneurs.
As an award-winning Microsoft Partner and the only South African company to hold the new Microsoft Gold Security Competency, BUI is proud to support Microsoft Ignite The Tour Johannesburg as a Gold Sponsor for the second year in a row.
This conference is a much-anticipated deep-dive experience for IT professionals, but it’s also a premier opportunity for business decision-makers to discover the power and potential of the Microsoft Cloud environment.
You can chat to the BUI team at Booth 202, near Theatre 1 in the main exhibition area, at any time during the event. Our cloud, security, and infrastructure specialists will be available to answer your most pressing questions around cloud migration, data protection, and digital transformation.
Drop by the BUI booth to learn more about our new, 24-hour Cyber Security Operations Center, and to explore a wide range of modern workplace solutions designed to enable secure productivity for your people. If you’re pondering your best path to the cloud, start by having a conversation with us.

Can you believe that GovTech is now in its 13th year? South Africa’s annual government technology conference, hosted by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA), will be held at the Durban International Convention Centre in KwaZulu-Natal from 27-30 October. We’re going to be there!
The theme for this year’s event is Digital Transformation: Gearing Towards the 4IR and Beyond – a timely topic as organisations and businesses across the country continue to embrace local cloud technology.
Communications Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams says the government has already laid the foundation for a national response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and is committed to empowering people with the digital skills required to help drive change in the country.
“As a nation, we have lofty targets to meet in creating digital skill sets pertinent to the 4IR and the digital economy,” Ndabeni-Abrahams explains.
The GovTech conference boasts high-profile sponsors including Microsoft, Vodacom, and Huawei, and premier ICT companies and service providers will be showcasing their products in the exhibition halls while panel discussions and presentations take place in the main venue.
Make sure you stop by the BUI booth to say hello to our national sales manager, Paul Wallett. He’ll be on site to answer all your questions about digital transformation, cloud technology, and our award-winning services and solutions.
Visit the official GovTech 2019 website for more information, or to register for the event. And be sure to follow the #GovTech2019 and #GovTechZA hashtags on social media for more news and updates. We’ll see you there, soon!
