Certification Turned EXI Into a Brain Factory for IT Specialists in Mozambique

EXI is a mozambican company which has been acting in the Information and Communication Technologies segment since it creation in 1991. The company provides solutions and services to medium and large companies, NGOs and the Government of Mozambique, among others.
Marisa Balas, Director of Operations at EXI, explains that having Mozambique's best capabilities in place and being a brain factory for IT specialists in Mozambique implies great challenges.
"Among the things EXI does is to maintain partnerships with renowned companies, such as Oracle, Fujitsu and Hitachi. In order for us to become professional partners, we need to certify our technicians, so regardless of the technology brand we engage with, certification is a must. We do certify our technicians, at great expense and effort; which in a sense also makes us a brain factory for the country. It's not easy to retain these technicians, because the market seeks them out and usually hunts them at EXI. If there's a need for new technicians, EXI people are sought after, since they are trained, certified and able. This presents us with the challenge of how to retain and keep our people happy, while treating them not as a human resource but as people, as brains and as strategic assets", says Marisa Balas.
