than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>In this world of accelerated change and hybrid working, businesses must strengthen their information management systems and take active steps to leverage the full benefit of the valuable data they already own.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What you\u2019ll learn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201c90% of the unstructured information in the world was generated in the last two years,\u201d said OpenText Africa Solutions Consulting Manager Thabiso Hlatshwayo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery business has a wealth of this data, but few understand how they can unlock its true value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the OpenText Africa Summit 2022, businesses will learn how to leverage their information advantage to improve key performance metrics.<\/p>\n<p>OpenText will also unpack the importance of the cloud to making the best use of your data, as well as how businesses can begin their cloud journey without becoming overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you will learn more about the latest OpenText innovations and announcements, hear from pioneering OpenText customers, network with OpenText experts, and learn how OpenText Cloud can help grow your business.<\/p>\n<p>This will be complemented by interactions with the event\u2019s main sponsors: Datacentrix, Datafinity, Faranani, iOCO, and SAP.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Event Agenda<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>OpenText\u2019s keynote address will be presented by Hlatshwayo and Susan Page, Sales Director Africa for OpenText.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Stopforth, Director at Beyond Binary, will present a second keynote titled \u201cWhat LEGO can teach us about digital transformation\u201d, and then a customer panel will be moderated by James McGourlay, OpenText\u2019s Executive Vice President of International Sales, and Tracy Bolton, 51风流Africa Chief Operating Officer.<\/p>\n<p>The event will then split into breakout tracks that focus on a variety of important topics like mastering modern work, creating customer-centric experiences, and future-proofing your information management through OpenText Cloud.<\/p>\n<p>After these breakout tracks, refreshments will be available, and you will have the opportunity to network with OpenText experts and customers.<\/p>\n<p>If you work in information management within your organization, this is an event you cannot afford to
