One of SA’s largest listed IT companies, Gijima, on Monday withdrew a cautionary statement that it was involved in discussions that could have had an effect on its share price. All discussions have been “terminated”.
Rumours have circulated in recent weeks that Gijima was in talks with Indian IT services giant Tata Consultancy Services, but CEO Jonas Bogoshi says he can “categorically deny” this was the case.
“There are, to my knowledge, no business discussions underway between Tata and Gijima in any shape or form,” says Bogoshi.
Gijima recently acquired BMC Business Service Management from African Legend (AL) Indigo and announced last week that it would be equipping all of its 3 800 staff with iPad 2s in an effort to cut the company’s hardware expenses and streamline its processes.
What prompted the cautionary statement remains a mystery. — Staff reporter, TechCentral
