This is what you can expect at DIGITAL X

Climate crisis, war, inflation, shortage of skilled workers: we are living in a polycrisis and are regularly confronted with new dimensions of threat. Nevertheless, there have always been companies that have emerged stronger from crises. Companies that recognised room for manoeuvre early on in times of changes and leveraged opportunities. How can digitalisation succeed in times of uncertainty, lack of talent and cost pressure? Our unique cooperation model with our social business partner AmaliTech offers the potential for companies to embark on a transformative journey, grow quickly and stay ahead of the competition – with manageable risk and highly competitive pricing.

What makes the product unique

In Germany, there is a lack of digital experts in many areas. As conventional recruiting methods reach their limits, new ways must be explored. Hardly any company is aware of the potential of digital talent in sub-Saharan Africa. We have developed a new cooperation model with our social business partner AmaliTech. This model builds upon integrated nexum-AmaliTech teams that benefit from different strengths, competencies, experiences, and potentials. Together, we avoid the disadvantages of classic outsourcing and offshoring offers: our teams are integrated into the client’s organisation and can react appropriately to complexity and the speed of change. 

Solution for the customer

To be able to digitally transform their business and scale accordingly, companies need the necessary specialists. Those who limit their recruiting efforts to Germany are faced with a difficult and mostly unsolvable task. However, if the radius is expanded and the potential of the African continent is considered on a strategic level, the much-lamented lack of IT specialists no longer exists. Our approach allows organisations to strengthen themselves with digital experts in a freely scalable manner.
In a market environment characterised by change, companies need a high level of responsiveness and adaptability in order to remain competitive. It is important to build up and expand this ability from top management to employees and processes.
