Friday, December 6, 2019, marked a significant milestone for TechnoBrain, a Kenya-based global custom software development firm that has been providing digital business solutions to governments and private firms for 21 years.
Founded by Manoj Shanker, the company has a footprint in several African countries and has built partnerships with global tech giants such as Microsoft, hosting the US company's only testing centre in Africa.
One of the company's notable achievements is its ability to provide real-time transaction tracing for banks using machine learning. This has enabled banks to track related transactions executed in different branches across the country.
TechnoBrain's success can be attributed to its focus on providing local solutions that cater to the specific needs of its clients. The company's CEO, Manoj Shanker, emphasized the importance of listening to customers and formulating secure digital solutions that give them control over their platforms.
Shanker also highlighted the company's commitment to training local talent and providing them with the skills needed to develop secure mobile and web-based solutions. This has seen the company impact the lives of many young people who have advanced coding skills.
TechnoBrain has handled several projects for the Kenyan government and private companies, but there is still room for Kenya to do more to seal loopholes where money is lost through badly executed projects. The company has tech solutions that enable authorizing officers to use one-time passwords (OTP) to disburse cash, ensuring that payments are secure and transparent.
Shanker also emphasized the importance of buying locally to benefit more Kenyans and the Kenyan economy. The company has three training centres and is already in talks with the government to create a new curriculum that addresses the needs of industry on a tech platform.
TechnoBrain's centre, the only one in Africa and manned by Kenyans, has exclusive access to Windows Insider software products that are yet to be released in the global market. The company is a digital solutions provider that solves problems for companies and governments, and is entrenching its capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, and innovations that will enable governments and businesses take advantage of a digital world.
