Over the past six months Dr Peter Tobin of PTC has been in demand for his expertise in the areas of data privacy and the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act. Presentation sessions have held in partnership with IBM SA and one of their business partners, Edgetec Systems, Statucor, InfoBuild, Microsoft South Africa, Shop-SA, and IIASA. This has been complemented by a guest interview on Kaya-FM's breakfast show and the publication of several articles authored/co-authored by Dr Tobin on POPI Act compliance and related issues.
The latest addition to this list of articles is a sponsored feature in partnership with PTC/IACT-Africa client Rexel SA on the Business Essentials web site. "When we started working with the Rexel SA management team earlier this year, we realised they were innovative thinkers" says Dr Tobin, "and the continued media presence through the various articles, presentations and other promotional material and events has continued to keep Rexel SA in focus as a prime example of how to turn what might otherwise be seen as a compliance burden into a business opportunity". "Rexel SA have clearly demonstrated how their understanding of the changing legislative landscape can produce new revenue opportunities" says John Cato of PTC partner IACT-Africa, " and we wish Rexel SA every success as they leverage their understanding of the wider implications of POPI Act compliance for their business.
