Faranani DocTec, an OpenText Platinum Partner, is gearing up to showcase its secure information management expertise at OpenText Summit Africa 2026. The summit, taking place on 3 September 2026 in Johannesburg, will bring together IT and business leaders to focus on practical solutions for AI adoption. As the Titanium Experience Sponsor, Faranani DocTec will be on hand to demonstrate how enterprises can turn their existing data into a trusted foundation for AI. This is particularly relevant given the common challenges faced by African markets, including fragmented data, regulatory pressure, and cyber security risk. By leveraging OpenText-based solutions, Faranani DocTec aims to help organisations overcome these obstacles and unlock the value of their enterprise information.

The summit's theme 'Elevate together: Secure information management for AI' highlights the importance of good governance in AI adoption. This is closely tied to POPIA compliance, which remains a pressing concern for South African enterprises. As Sam Selepe, Director: Business Development and Sales at Faranani DocTec, notes, fragmented data and regulatory pressure can be costly and risky under POPIA. Good governance, on the other hand, fixes both issues – and is essential for trusted AI adoption.
