Paratus Botswana now offers

P
aratus Botswana has launched a new
initiative that is aimed at equipping
employees with the skills needed to
meet the challenges of the fast-evolving
technological world. The intensive training
course is for staff to futureproof customers’
networking infrastructure.
As a talent-led organisation, Paratus aims
to develop the critical skills needed to make
market-relevant interventions and provide
the enhanced, highly specialised skills
needed to serve its business clients.
This certification will enable staff to
service customers better by ensuring that
their local area network (LAN) does not
limit communication.
“Paratus has extended its service portfolio
to Local Area Network Cabling (LAN) to
ensure customer infrastructure is well
designed and of a high quality which the n
pairs perfectly with our quality connectivity
solutions,” said Paratus Managing Director
Shawn Bruwer.
“Our success can largely be attributed to our
investment in our workforce and high-end,
quality technology. This partnership enables
us to provide quality networks that enhance
the efficiencies and communication within
organisations,” added Bruwer.
Paratus has a range of engineers and it is
crucial that all the engineers understand the
fundamentals of cabling and are able to
assist with installations.
Paratus’ investment in the training of
employees in various areas of expertise is
one way in which it empowers employees
to become professionals in leading-edge
technology and service delivery.
“Cheap LAN installations eventually become
very costly,” said Bruwer.
“We often have issues within the customer
LAN that then affects connectivity. “A Molex certified installation will provide
service in excess of 25 years. Cheap
installations frustrate the business and
can lead to eventually replacing the entire
cabling which is a major disruption to the
business and can lead to significant other
costs including downtime. It is better to do it
properly from the start.”
"We have gone one step further and
are now certified to install the best LAN
equipment which is of such a high standard
that a 25-year warranty is provided on the
Molex installations.” Bruwer said particular attention and
budget must be provided where new
buildings are in the construction or
planning phase where provision needs to
be made for proper cabling.
The Molex structured cabling installed by
Paratus Botswana with their certified Molex
Network Installers, provides a 25-year
warranty on the products and installation. “That is one of the aspects that is often
neglected, since the architects and
consulting engineers do not plan for this
additional cost,” he said.
To ensure maximum efficiency for its
customers, Paratus supplies state-of-the-art
category 6/6A/7 LAN cable and accessories
that meet International standards. Paratus can assist customers in terms
of planning and ensure the necessary
provisions are made during the construction
phase of buildings including malls, office

blocks and residential properties. Small
things such as cable routes in a building and
ensuring fiber is catered for to connect the
building to Paratus as the service provider
are often overlooked and then become
difficult to retro-fit.
As the world has become increasingly digital
and more interconnected, the training of
employees is an important step for the
company in order to meet tomorrow’s
business needs. n
