01 / Our expertise

Clarity on what comes next.
The capability to build it.

Explore the work behind each service: when to bring us in, what we do, and what you come away with.

01

Advisory

Understand where you stand, what needs to change, and what to do first.

Fixed-scope assessments lead into roadmap, architecture and ongoing advisory work.

Enterprise architectureMake the whole technology estate work together.

When to bring us in

Your systems have grown independently. You need a clear view of what connects, what overlaps, and what should change before the next investment.

What we work on

  • EA maturity assessment and capability build
  • Architecture design and architecture review
  • Application portfolio rationalisation
  • System selection support

What you come away with

A view of the current estate, a target architecture and prioritised recommendations. The scope can also cover the practices your team needs to maintain the architecture.

A practical first step

Begin with a fixed-scope architecture assessment or review.

Technology strategy and CIO advisoryPut your technology priorities in business order.

When to bring us in

Investment requests are competing, costs are difficult to explain, or the technology function needs a clearer role in delivering the organisation’s strategy.

What we work on

  • Technology strategy development
  • IT target operating model design
  • Investment prioritisation
  • Technology cost review

What you come away with

A technology direction and investment sequence, with the operating model, decision rights or cost findings needed for the agreed scope.

A practical first step

Begin with a fixed-scope review of your technology function or investment priorities.

Digital transformation advisoryTurn a broad ambition into a sequence of decisions.

When to bring us in

You know the organisation needs to change, but the starting point, business case or order of delivery is unclear. Or a programme already in flight needs an independent view.

What we work on

  • Digital maturity assessment
  • Transformation roadmap development
  • Business case development
  • Programme assurance on work in flight

What you come away with

A scored position and findings, followed by a roadmap or business case where commissioned. Programme assurance identifies issues and recommended actions on existing work.

A practical first step

Begin with a fixed-scope maturity assessment or programme review.

Data and AI advisoryWork out what your data can support, and what is worth doing.

When to bring us in

AI ideas are arriving faster than you can evaluate them, or fragmented data makes it hard to judge which opportunities are practical.

What we work on

  • Data and AI strategy development
  • Data maturity assessment
  • AI readiness assessment
  • AI use case prioritisation and build or buy decisions

What you come away with

A clear view of readiness, prioritised use cases and the foundations they depend on. Strategy and build or buy recommendations are shaped around the agreed questions.

A practical first step

Begin with a fixed-scope data maturity or AI readiness assessment.

02

Delivery

Build the systems you need, connect them to your business, and keep them running.

Engage us directly for delivery. An advisory engagement is not a prerequisite.

Software development and integrationBuild what is missing. Connect what already works.

When to bring us in

A package cannot support the way your business needs to work, systems do not exchange information reliably, or a legacy platform needs to be modernised in stages.

What we work on

  • Web and mobile application development
  • API integration with payments, Omang and core platforms
  • Payments and channel integration, with reconciliation
  • Legacy modernisation without a big-bang cutover
  • Support and operations to agreed service levels

What you come away with

Working software and integrations, with your team involved in delivery. Support and operations are defined as part of the build engagement.

A practical first step

Agree the problem, interfaces and first deliverable, then scope the build.

CloudMove with a plan for cost, resilience and what comes next.

When to bring us in

You are considering a migration, need a sound foundation before moving workloads, or want to understand the cost and resilience of what is already running.

What we work on

  • Readiness and workload assessment
  • Landing zone build
  • Migration delivery
  • Cost optimisation and resilience review
  • Backup, disaster recovery and recovery testing

What you come away with

The landing zone, migrated workloads or review findings agreed for the engagement, with the relevant recovery and operating requirements addressed.

A practical first step

Start with the workloads, their dependencies and the outcome the migration or review must support.

Discuss this service
Process automationImprove the process before you automate it.

When to bring us in

Teams spend too much time moving information between systems, rekeying documents, or chasing the next action in a case or approval.

What we work on

  • Process discovery ranked by payback
  • Process redesign before automation
  • Workflow and RPA build
  • Intelligent document processing
  • Document and case workflow implementation

What you come away with

A redesigned process and the agreed working automations, with the people who use them involved in the implementation.

A practical first step

Choose a process, understand its exceptions, and assess the payback before committing to a build.

Discuss this service
Data platforms and AI deliveryTake data and AI work into production.

When to bring us in

Reporting depends on disconnected extracts, a data move needs careful delivery, or a promising AI use case needs a practical route beyond a proof of value.

What we work on

  • Data platform implementation
  • Business intelligence implementation
  • Predictive and generative AI solution delivery
  • Data cleansing and migration

What you come away with

The working data platform, reporting capability or AI solution in scope, with the required data preparation and integration delivered alongside it.

A practical first step

Define the use case and data foundations, then agree a proof of value or production delivery scope.

Discuss this service

The exact deliverables, responsibilities and service levels are agreed for each engagement.

02 / Built by Kalabeta

We build our own, too.

Four platforms designed and built in Gaborone, for the work organisations need to do.

03 / How we work

A clear next step.
At every step.

Start with a defined piece of work. Each stage can stand on its own.

01

Assess

A fixed-scope assessment. A scored position and findings you can act on.

02

Decide

A roadmap or architecture, with priorities, costs and owners.

03

Build

Working software and systems, with your team in the build.

04

Run

Monitoring and support, with agreed service levels.

Our advice stands up,
whoever builds.

You choose who delivers. We hold no reseller agreements. If one of our platforms is a candidate, we disclose the interest and take no part in scoring it.

The rhythm of acknowledgment

“Kalabeta.”
We are still with you.

In the Kalanga tradition, when a grandmother wove a folktale by the fire, she would pause. In the quiet, the listeners answered: Kalabeta. It was not an interruption. It was a verification: we are still awake, we are following, we are with you.

You say
Here is what has to change.
We answer
Kalabeta. We are listening. We understand where you are.
Then
We assess, you decide, and we build it if you choose us. The advice stands up whoever builds.

We are still awake.

The modern version of the broken rhythm is a client who has invested in transformation but cannot tell whether it is being handled.

We are following the story.

We listen before we prescribe. We assess the ground truth of an organisation before recommending anything.

The connection is alive.

We carry the work from the first conversation to the moment it runs in production, keep progress visible the whole way, and are still answering after go-live.

Let’s start with a conversation

What needs to
change for you?

Tell us the decision you are facing, or the system you need. We will listen first.
