Wragby Solutions and Sterling Bank : an evolving partnership
Oluyomi Alarape , Managing Director of Wragby Business Solutions & Technologies Ltd , outlines the Cloud services which are taking Sterling Bank ’ s business to a new level and major plans to boost Nigeria ’ s SME sector
Our partnership with Sterling Bank started five years ago . It ’ s a classic case of digital transformation – I don ’ t mean that from the perspective of technology , but from the view of strategy , business process and leadership , and the way Sterling leverages data for decision making , and creates innovative products and delivers value .
We created various cloud solutions that cuts across Business service monitoring , Disaster recovery Enterprise mobility & Security , Centralized communication & Collaboration and took Sterling from a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement to a Cloud Service Provider . With this , the bank has enhanced its operations and can now better manage costs , drive efficiency , empower their employees , optimize productively , and deliver superior returns to shareholders .
We are proud to be the premier Microsoft partner in Nigeria and been selected as worldwide finalists across a range of areas – Enterprise , Mobility and Security , and Application Innovation – in recent years .
Now we are looking at how we can maximise data , make faster services and raise revenues for the bank . We have introduced a solution called Business
Service Monitoring ( BSM ) for Sterling , which talks to all the services across the chain , and gives the bank a competitive edge .
We build our own intellectual properties . We have built an ERP for SMEs ( wBizmanager ) – which plugs a major gap in Nigeria . It will be a core platform and major focus in the next 12-18 months .
We will continue to drive insightful decision making through data and provide more context-based products and solutions – developing new projects such as ‘ Alt Mall ’. In the Enterprise space , we will be building application programming interface – a monetisation platform .
My leadership style ties into our mission , vision , and core values , combining responsibility and sensitivity . We have an open-door policy . We encourage ‘ bottom up ’ and create a fluid culture , which drives innovation .
Like the game of rugby , Wragby combines ruggedness and beauty , to make the world a better place through technology . We do this through our products , consulting services and transformation projects with our partners .
