Tier 5 Technologies, prominent West African enterprise IT and cloud services provider, has partnered with MongoDB, the leading database for modern applications, to accelerate digital transformation efforts in Nigeria and other West African countries, as the region positions itself to capture a significant share of Africa’s projected $100 billion digital economy.
This partnership, which focuses on helping organisations modernise their infrastructure to capitalise on the opportunities of AI, was revealed at a recent “Legacy Modernisation Day” event in Lagos, co-hosted by the two companies.
Regional director for Middle East and Africa at MongoDB, Anders Irlander Fabry, in a statement, said partnering with Tier 5 Technologies is a pivotal step in deepening the company’s presence in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa and a key economic engine for the continent.
“Tier 5 Technologies brings a proven track record, a strong local network, and a clear commitment to MongoDB as their preferred data platform. They’ve already demonstrated their dedication by hiring MongoDB-focused sales specialists, connecting us with top C-level executives, and closing our first enterprise deals in Nigeria in record time. We’re excited about the impact we can make together in this strategic market,” Fabry averred.
The Tier 5 Technologies-MongoDB partnership aims to harness Africa’s enormous potential, with the continent’s digital economy projected to reach $100 billion. MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries with software and data, and MongoDB is the most widely available, globally distributed database on the market. Millions of developers and more than 50,000 customers across almost every industry, including 70 percent of the Fortune 100, rely on MongoDB for their most important applications.
MongoDB’s product suite includes self-managed MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and MongoDB Atlas, a fully managed integrated suite of cloud database and data services available across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. MongoDB Atlas is particularly relevant for the African market, where cloud adoption is on the rise and traditional IT infrastructure can present challenges. By delivering scalable, low-latency databases via the cloud, MongoDB aims to overcome infrastructure limitations and empower developers across the continent to build world-class applications.
