Well plenty. This doesn\u2019t mean to say we don\u2019t have our problems but we also have opportunities&#8230;by the truck load. And all while Europe and the US get to grips with refugees, unexpected presidents and a vacillating Brexit, it&#8217;s time to fly Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Africa has people. A billion of them, together forming one of the last mostly untapped consumer market in the world. So, Africa is on the map even if many visitors don&#8217;t know where it is. Everyone wants a piece &#8211; but this time it isn&#8217;t the same old &#8216;stick a flag in the ground, pass around the colored beads, share a bottle of good (is there bad?) malt whisky then annex a few million square kilometers for that trip&#8217;s sponsoring country&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>This time people offer aid, much of it tied to spending, assistance with economic growth, industrialization, and skill development.<\/p>\n<p>This means local growth with better business processes driving more informed local companies to more effectively manufacture and distribute their world-class products. It also means the uptake of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syspro.com\/product\/erp-system\/\">ERP<\/a> and other business IT is accelerating &#8211; great for the ERP ecosystem! We are seeing our customers seek increasingly relevant new functionality to assist working people do more with less.<\/p>\n<p>But beware. Developing continents like Africa, India, Asia Pacific, South America, have 65 percent of the world&#8217;s people with a much lower percent of trade and earnings, and justifying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syspro.com\/erp\/\">ERP<\/a> with job reduction (as some businesses do) is a false long-term economic promise<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pass\u00e9 to plan to make the same output with less people, rather create far more capacity from the same people and assets, filling this capacity with demand from a greedy continent and world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>The Chinese\u00a0symbol\u00a0for\u00a0crisis\u00a0uses two\u00a0characters.
