Zimbabwe's Internet usage has grown by over 165 % over the past 3 years, due to high demand and usage of technology devices.
That's according to Dereck Goto, Web Entangled Zimbabwe CEO.
Goto said there's tremendous growth in Internet usage in Zimbabwe. He says the high usage is mainly driven by the emergence of data mobile devices and affordable computers.
"This is just the beginning of the Zimbabwean Internet Revolution, said Goto.
"You should expect more Zimbabweans across the country to access websites via their mobile devices at increasingly cheaper rates."
"This offers a completely new channel for marketing previously underutilized in Zimbabwe. The opportunities for any business abound not only will companies be able to keep their customers informed in real time, businesses will be able to viably automate almost any business function via the web," said Goto.
Web Entangled has a project portfolio of about 400 web-based solutions for Zimbabwean and South African entities spanning various sectors.
Goto said his company has completed major projects with Telecel Zimbabwe, the Confederation of Zimbabwean Industries, First Mutual Life Medical Savings, GW Base (South Africa), Corporate Excellence, Renaissance Financial Holdings and other corporate companies.
