What ETS Innovations does

ETS Innovations (Pty Ltd) is a South African ICT systems integrator headquartered in Midrand, Gauteng, specializing in Oracle enterprise technology, cloud infrastructure, and IoT solutions. Founded in 2011 (with company-operating history from 2015), the company employs 50+ staff and operates across at least four countries — South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Kenya — with stated expansion plans targeting nine African markets. The company is BBBEE Level 1 certified and 100% black female-owned, providing preferential procurement status for South African enterprise and public sector tenders. ETS has achieved Oracle Level 5 partner status, the highest tier in the Oracle PartnerNetwork, and is positioned as Oracle's most certified partner in the region.

The company's core technology stack includes ETS Prime Cloud (a locally hosted IaaS/PaaS/SaaS platform engineered for POPIA compliance), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, Oracle E-Business Suite, and Oracle Cloud ERP/HCM/SCM/CX implementations. In 2025, ETS expanded into edge computing through a strategic partnership with IoT.nxt, incorporating the patented Raptor Gateway platform for IoT deployments. The analytics portfolio centers on SplashBI with 3,500+ dashboards and GL Connect for Excel-based financial reporting, while the infrastructure practice spans H3C networking, Hitachi storage, and Pure Storage. The company also resells and integrates Microsoft Dynamics 365, Gallagher Security, and Dataiku for AI/ML workflows.

ETS operates a four-stream revenue model: Professional Services (ERP/CRM implementation consulting), Managed Services (ongoing support and Oracle operations), Infrastructure Hardware & Software (resale of storage, networking, and compute), and Cloud Services (recurring subscription revenue via ETS Prime Cloud). Customer segments span large enterprise and mid-market clients across financial services, telecommunications (Vodacom), and government (Zimbabwe government and Zimbabwean financial institutions), with multi-year managed services contracts anchoring recurring revenue. The 2025 launch of an advisory line of business and a network infrastructure practice, alongside the acquisition of an Oracle Applications business, signals an expansion from pure implementation toward strategy, infrastructure, and IP-led revenue.
