Addressing a gathering of stakeholders at the company’s 25th-anniversary Dinner and Awards ceremony, the Chief Technical Officer, Dr Yaw Ofori-Adjei, explained that cloud computing enables businesses and individuals to store and processed data remotely, reducing the need for on-premises infrastructure and providing scalability and flexibility.

He outlined edge computing, cybersecurity and data analytics as some of the other services the company was considering to empower businesses to scale up operations, ensure business continuity and make informed data-driven decisions.

“We recognise the opportunities that data-driven decisions offer our clients to optimise their operations.

We will be coming to you to better understand how we can help you gain a competitive edge,” he stated.

Dr Ofori-Adjei reiterated the company’s commitment to innovation, collaboration and elevating services to meet the evolving needs of its clients.

 “The digital age presents a continuous threat to all institutions and businesses across sectors.

We want to be able to support our customers to stay a step ahead and protect their valuable data,” he said.

Evolution towards
cloud computing

In his keynote address, Portfolio Advisor for MEST Africa, Eric Nsarkoh, commended Fairgreen for providing enterprise-level solutions and the fact that it was Ghanaian founded.

“We have seen so many names come and go.

A lot of them are not from here.

A lot of them are partners that we have built up and then they shut down simply because some global restructuring had happened and Ghana was no longer a priority market.

“We want to be part of this one that is addressed here and native of this land and is willing to propel us forward,” he stated.

Mr Nsarkoh said the evolution towards cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) had taken over, which presents a tough situation for the current generation that has little to no knowledge about these things.

He encouraged the leadership of Fairgreen to set up cloud infrastructure to support grassroots businesses and the innovation ecosystem around micro-merchants.

“We need help at the grassroots as well.

We need solutions that will deliver business to the consumer crowd, we need solutions that will deliver the offering for the youth...you know the method, you know the technology, you have the skills, and you employ the people.

“We are there to help but it is a humble request; It is a national duty that you bail out technology infrastructure for this space, using all the skills you’ve gathered,” he said.

Trust and confidence

The Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Fairgreen, Gifty Boahene, expressed gratitude to clients, partners and suppliers for their support throughout the journey, acknowledging the trust and confidence bestowed upon the company, which enabled it to achieve historic milestones.

 On the future of Fairgreen, she said the company was excited about the next 25 years of innovation, growth and impact.

“We are confident that with the continued support of valued clients, partners, suppliers and the dedicated Fairgreen team, we will continue to shape the future and set new benchmarks of excellence in the IT industry,” she stated.
