High-Impact Entrepreneurship

Endeavor South Africa Entrepreneurs Robert Sussman and Lance Fanaroff sold Integr8 IT- an arm of their company, Integr8 Group- to Business Connexion for an estimated R126M. Business Connexion is a leading ICT services provider with more data center capacity than any other provider in South Africa. The merger creates a single organization of 7,000 employees who will deliver services across Africa.

Since its launch in 2001, Integr8 has provided leading corporations with a range of sophisticated IT outsourcing services, including hardware and software solutions, back-end 24/7 customer support and on-site service. Today, Integr8 is the largest privately-owned ICT infrastructure management and managed-services company in Africa.

Sussman and Fanaroff have been globally recognized for their achievements. receiving awards from prestigious organizations such as Ernst & Young. The acquisition marks a new success for these entrepreneurs. “I am excited from where we have come from, I am hugely excited about where we are today, but this pales in comparison about the excitement I feel for the opportunities that will arise whilst working hand-in-hand with BCG and all of their subsidiaries,” said Sussman.

Their joint efforts with Business Connexion are likely to capitalize on the combined domestic ICT market in South Africa, which is estimated at more than US$14 billion.
