What SYSROAD does

SYSROAD is a privately-held IT and telecommunications infrastructure integrator founded in 2013 in Dakar, Senegal, operating across 10 West and Central African countries (Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Togo, Gabon, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo). The company delivers end-to-end infrastructure services organized into 12 technical domains spanning enterprise networking and IoT connectivity, managed cybersecurity (24/7 SOC, EDR/XDR), cloud and hyperconverged datacenter infrastructure, smart building systems, unified communications and Microsoft 365, custom digital applications, fiber optic and FTTH deployment, radio network deployment and optimization, VSAT satellite connectivity, energy solutions for telecom infrastructure, advanced services (audits, architecture, project management assistance), and technical training and certification through its SITLC learning center. Its technical backbone rests on tier-1 vendor partnerships, notably Cisco Premier Partner status maintained for 12 consecutive years since 2014 and Huawei Diamond Partner status achieved in 2026, supplemented by certifications with Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Nutanix, Microsoft, VMware, Veeam, NetApp, AWS, Google Cloud, and others, plus a Pearson VUE-certified test center.

The business model blends four revenue streams: infrastructure integration services (design, deployment, and maintenance of IT and telecom networks on a project basis), recurring managed services (24/7 SOC and infrastructure monitoring contracts), training and certification revenue through SITLC, and hardware/equipment sales through the certified partner ecosystem. Go-to-market is executed via direct enterprise field sales teams embedded in each of the 10 operating countries, complemented by a channel/reseller motion through certified technology vendor partnerships. Customers include major banks (BCEAO, BOA, FBNBank, Coris Bank, BNDE, COFINA), telecom operators (SONATEL, WAVE), government institutions (Douanes, SENRE), logistics operators (MAERSK, DP World), large enterprises (DANGOTE, SENELEC, AXA, Canal+, Auchan), and international organizations (UNICEF, World Vision). The company reports 150+ employees, 50+ major clients, and 200+ projects delivered since founding, with most recent strategic activity including the November 2025 opening of a Gambia bureau and the 2026 Huawei Diamond Partner elevation.

Product overview

SYSROAD is an integrated IT and telecommunications infrastructure company operating across 10 West African countries since 2013. The company operates as a unified platform of 12 interconnected service domains rather than a single product, offering end-to-end infrastructure solutions from design through deployment to maintenance. The portfolio covers connectivity services (Intelligent Connectivity, Fibre Optique, Déploiement Radio, VSAT), security services (Cyber Security, Smart Building), cloud and datacenter solutions (Intelligent Cloud, Digital Services & Apps), productivity tools (Intelligent Workplace, Advanced Services), and enablement services (Formation & Certification via the SITLC learning center). This integrated approach allows SYSROAD to serve as a single partner for enterprises, banks, governments, and telecom operators requiring comprehensive infrastructure solutions across West Africa.
