COUNTRY COUNTRY FOCUS: NAMIBIA FOCUS:
Johann Joubert, CEO at Converge Solutions
worldwide, including Johannesburg. The
SAP Co-Innovation Lab creates a platform
for local SAP partners and customers to
minimise the risk associated with largescale
innovation projects built on SAP
technologies and solutions.
According to Rudi de Louw, Head of the
SAP Co-Innovation Lab at SAP Africa, the
healthcare solution developed by Converge
fills a very clear gap in the local healthcare
industry’s Digital Transformation efforts.
“Working with Johann and his team, we
identified a clear opportunity to offer a
fit-for-purpose solution for the African
healthcare market, with an initial focus
on South African organisations. “Thanks
to the scalability of the solution through
SAP’s infrastructure, and the Converge
team’s expert knowledge of the African
healthcare industry, it comes as no surprise
to see Converge’s enhanced versions of
the solution already being adopted by
healthcare organisations in other
African markets.”
Joubert says healthcare is an inherently
complex industry.
“During the course of their stay, one
patient may interact with multiple
external healthcare professionals
and/or entities, who deliver independent
yet interrelated services to the patient,”
he said.
