The South African Department of Trade and Industry has selected Jam Warehouse to represent South Africa at the world’s leading technology trade fair, CeBIT in Germany.
Jam Warehouse is one of twelve South African technology companies selected to demonstrate the country’s high-level of skills and innovation to a global audience of almost a million visitors.
Amongst the products Jam Warehouse will be exhibiting at the fair are its BrandDirector™ business process management tool and KnowledgeTree™ Open Source document management system. Both products are already in global markets: the company gets over 60% of its revenue from overseas.
BrandDirector™ helps organisations mitigate the significant and growing challenges in implementing and managing brands consistently. The product is a computerised infrastructure for projects involving brand-related materials, including packaging, New Product Development, Store Design and promotional material. It has been implemented at Tesco Stores Plc and Kestrel Digital Colour (one of the UK’s largest prepress companies). The product is currently being extended to help organisations deal with a variety of regulated document scenarios, including ISO9001 quality system management and HAACP manufacturing processes.
KnowledgeTree™ is one of the most rapidly-adopted open source document management systems, with downloads currently running at several hundred per month. It was originally developed for the South African Medical Research Council; and includes advanced document version control, full text search capabilities, multiple search types and extensible metadata fields for documents. Some of the more advanced functionality includes a customizable dashboard and workflow for document authoring.
CeBIT, run by Messe DE, is the world’s leading ICT-sector trade fair and the world’s largest trade show of any kind. Over 6500 organisations exhibit their products and services on 355000 square meters of exhibition space. The show attracts almost a million people over the exhibition period.
