What We Do

World Wide Worx is South Africa’s leading independent technology research and strategy organisation, with a focus on technology in business strategy. It offers a range of research and strategic services, surveys, benchmarks and reports intended to provide both industry intelligence and strategic insight into the hi-tech economy.

Why World Wide Worx?

We understand change. Our core activities of market research, trends analysis, strategic analysis and strategy development provide a powerful platform on which to supply clients and the market with decision support and strategic direction.

By understanding the environment in which they operate, and responding to the current and potential changes in that environment, enterprises’ activities can be more successful and profitable. We believe that understanding change is the key to managing change, and an essential tool for directing business strategy. While technology is both a key platform for change and a key driver of change, it is an understanding of the role of technology that is the enabler of change.
