Zambia launches innovative SME portal

Liquid Intelligent Technologies Zambia, part of Cassava Technologies, a global technology leader of African heritage, has unveiled its new SME Portal

This first-of-its-kind bundled solution aims to equip small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Zambia with the digital tools required to compete, grow, and succeed in today’s fast evolving business environment.

The portal integrates connectivity, collaboration tools, and secure cloud storage into a single, intuitive platform. From high-speed internet packages to advanced team collaboration and data protection features, SMEs can select the services that best suit their operations, all through a simple, user-friendly interface. Prioritising accessibility, flexibility, and ease of use, the SME Portal addresses the digital challenges faced by Zambian SMEs, many of which operate without dedicated IT teams or large technology budgets.

“Our goal is to ensure that every Zambian business, no matter its size, can participate fully in the digital economy. The SME Portal puts control back into the hands of entrepreneurs. For many SMEs, time and resources are limited, and managing technology can feel overwhelming. With this platform, everything they need is available in one place, easy to set up, and tailored to the business. This is not just about providing technology; it’s about creating an accessible, adaptable digital ecosystem that grows with our SMEs,” said Mwendamo Mazaba, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Liquid Intelligent Technologies in Zambia.

The launch aligns with Liquid Zambia’s broader commitment to advancing digital transformation in the country. It follows initiatives such as the rollout of public Wi-Fi in Livingstone, expansion of the GPON network, introduction of Azure Stack for cost effective cloud solutions, and the opening of a Cyber Security Fusion Centre in 2023. Additionally, a recent partnership with Zambia’s CNC360 Consulting aims to co-create digital solutions targeting SMEs and cooperatives. These efforts reaffirm Liquid’s role as a trusted partner for Zambian businesses striving to innovate and grow in a competitive marketplace.
