EXI: Providing IT Solutions to the Mozambican Market for Over 20 Years

Marisa Balas, Director of Operations at EXI, gives an overview of the company and explains what are EXI’s main lines of business.

“We are a Mozambican company with a track record of over 20 years. Some of those who were there when our company started out still work with us. We are a ‘brain company’, which means that we depend on the brains of the people who work with us; on their qualities, their expertise, their capacities. This is why we focus on our people. If you ask our staff why they like working here, I think they will all agree it’s a good working environment. They feel like being part of a big EXI family. On average, we have always had around 50-60 people in our team and we like it that way. Not too big, not too small”, says Marisa Balas.

“We have two main lines of business. One focuses on applications and the infrastructure supporting those applications, for which we rely on software engineers, IT architects and business analysts. All together, they provide solutions to meet our customers’ demands. These are either customised applications, or off-the-shelf applications that need to be adapted to the Mozambican market. In this line of business we provide turnkey solutions. You ask us to provide you with something, and we deliver it, from the networking, the servers, the datacentres, through to the applications, as well as the IT services, so as to ensure that these applications are up and running, according to the service level agreement. Our second line of business is management-oriented, which has to do with how we help our customers enhance and optimise their business processes, define their ICT policy and strategy, together with project and programme management. As such, it focuses on these managerial issues, thereby ensuring that our customers are able to call upon these abilities from among their own staff, which means we also undertake capacity training for our customers. We currently focus on these two main lines of business. You can’t have one without the other”, she adds.
