White Wall Web was awarded second runner up at the Africa SMME awards on Thursday night in the “Young Enterprise” category.
It was a prestigious award, attended by the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry and presented by the head of SABC International.
This is a great achievement because 105 companies around Africa entered and only of us 18 were awarded.
Well done – this is because of all of our combined efforts as a winning team.
White Wall Web have begun the second phase of a project to build software for Express Air Services (EAS), a subsidiary of BidVest.
“We are pleased to be working with such a prominent South African company and are proud of what we have already achieved,” says Peter Flynn, MD of White Wall Web International.
White Wall Web UK have recently landed an exciting contract with Schwarzkopf, a subsidiary of Henkel.
Henkel, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, has about 52,000 employees worldwide and counts among the most internationally aligned German-based companies in the global marketplace.
Schwarzkopf is a leading international hair product company, offering specialist ranges for professionals and for retail consumers.
“Two years ago if someone said VoIP PBX to me, I’d have thought they were swearing,” says Peter Flynn, MD of White Wall Web and director and co-founder of Vocal Pulse. “Now it is central to what we are doing with our new business – that is how quickly this technology is emerging.”
This excerpt was published in an article appearing on IOL yesterday, VoIP Pioneers Stumble:
“In spite of its global popularity, Internet telephony (VoIP), which is almost free for users, has not become a gold mine for its pioneers such as Skype and Vonage.
Popular online auction firm eBay, which bought Skype two years ago for $2,6-billion (about R18-billion), affirmed that message in a costly way on Monday when it devalued the once-darling firm, knocking 1,43-billion off its value.”
One critical thing that I have never understood (since the beginning and it has never been rectified) is why it is so difficult to purchase pre-paid Skype credits. I have had two credit cards blocked (and the process of having them unblocked is so difficult it is in fact preventative).
