What DataposIT does

DataposIT is a Kenya-based IT solutions integrator founded in 2007, headquartered in Nairobi, that implements and supports enterprise technology for organizations across Africa. The company positions itself as an end-to-end partner covering three interconnected capability areas: business management software (ERP, CRM, analytics, HR, and document management), industry-specific ERP verticals, and enterprise infrastructure (servers, storage, networking, and security). The core technical platform is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with which the company holds certified partner status; this ERP is extended through purpose-built industry modules (LS Retail for retail/hospitality, Elva for automotive, Tasklet for warehouse management, Soft4RE for real estate, Navins for insurance, Zetadocs for document automation) and connected to Dynamics 365 CRM or Salesforce, Power BI, and Microsoft Azure.

The company monetizes through a hybrid revenue model combining professional services for ERP and infrastructure implementation, hardware resale (servers, storage, networking equipment from Lenovo, Dell, NetApp, Huawei, Cisco, Fortinet, Sophos, etc.), recurring managed services including post-go-live support and hosted ERP, and SaaS subscription for its proprietary TalantaHR HR platform and the Factorial HR partnership. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting mid-to-large organizations in sectors including financial services, healthcare, education, manufacturing, agriculture, retail, and not-for-profit. The company also operates Nuru Cloud, a local cloud infrastructure service differentiated by in-region data hosting. Geographic footprint is anchored in Kenya with claimed Africa-wide reach and a designated LS Retail implementation partnership for East and Southern Africa. The company employs 11-50 staff and is privately held with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing; the website copyright references "Sepia Consulting" as a possible operating or parent entity, though the exact corporate relationship is not confirmed.
