Who We Are

Traditionally, Information Technology has been viewed as an attachment to the core business, or at most, a peripheral enabler. Today, we realise that IT is the key to our survival, as technology becomes integrated to our business, the consequences of a technology fracture becomes higher.

IT can help save costs, increase productivity and efficiency and drive business goals. On the other hand, IT risks must be managed to ensure the preservation of information confidentiality, integrity and availability.

At PKF Avant Edge, we believe technology alone is not enough. Enterprise must apply Technology effectively and drive value from IT.

We collaborate with other groups, recognising the far impacting influence of IT, ensuring that technology changes and implementation are managed holistically and brings business (not IT) benefits.
