SOUTH AFRICA SOUTH AFRICA

Britehouse Mobility is embarking on a new era of innovation and independence following a management buy-out transaction that acquired the business from NTT DATA for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition marks a pivotal moment in Britehouse Mobility’ s journey.

The partnership with NTT DATA contributed significantly to Britehouse Mobility’ s growth and global reach. Now, this strategic move reflects a renewed commitment to innovation, agility and delivering specialised digital solutions with greater autonomy.

Following the deal, Britehouse Mobility will operate as a fully independent company, now known simply as Britehouse, marking a fresh chapter in its 16-year legacy of delivering innovative solutions and AI integration to businesses across various industries.

Britehouse enables organisations to optimise operations, accelerate transformation and thrive in an increasingly digital-first world by combining human expertise with AI-powered efficiency.“ After several successful years operating as part of the global NTT DATA group, Britehouse is excited to return to its roots as an independent, South African-led business,” said Graham Parker, Executive Chairman at Britehouse.

MTN Group has embarked on a journey to leverage responsible AI to reshape Africa at the leading edge of technology, igniting change, inspiring progress and creating a brighter future.

“ AI is no longer an enabler – it’ s the engine reshaping businesses, redefining value creation and rewriting the rules of global innovation and competitiveness,” said MTN Group Digital Infrastructure CEO and GCTIO Mazen Mroué.

“ AI is not just about automation – it’ s about boosting human potential, increasingly becoming seamlessly embedded into our daily activities, decisions and experiences, transforming how we live and work.”

He says AI is augmenting human intelligence like never before and“ we at MTN are developing AI for Africa by Africans, unlocking sustainable value for all.”

As data quality, talent excellence, strategic partnerships and robust infrastructure are all essential to a successful AI implementation journey, MTN has designed an appropriate operating model and established an in-house AI Centre of Excellence( CoE) alongside a Cloud CoE to co-ordinate AI activities across the group, supported by an internal Software Solutions team equipped with more than 300 engineers.
