Solving South Africa's toughest problems by revolutionising business and education Isazi Consulting was created after a conversation about a newspaper article in 2012 with the title 'South Africa scores the lowest in Mathematics'. We asked ourselves how this could be possible when all of us sitting at the table had advanced Mathematics degrees and applied it to solve problems daily. The discussion turned to other bottlenecks in South Africa's economy, and we decided there and then that we would create a company with a single unifying vision: to solve South Africa's toughest problems. Three years later, Isazi Consulting is on its way to being Africa's Machine Learning hub. We employ the brightest minds on the continent and compete globally with analytics giants to add value to our customers. We operate in a high-throughput, creative environment, where new ideas are grown into successful projects and research is a key driver of progress. We are strongly connected to a network of universities and individuals around the world, and are well positioned to implement cutting edge research - that would normally take years to reach the business world - directly in our products. ...
