Lagos, Nigeria – May 8, 2025 – TeKnowledge today announced the official launch of its AI-First Expert Technology Services in Nigeria, along with a refreshed brand identity that reflects the company’s global evolution and deepened commitment to enabling enterprise and national transformation across Africa. The announcement was made during the TeKnowledge Nigeria CxO Summit 2025, a high-level event held at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, which convened public and private sector leaders to celebrate seven years of operations in Nigeria and to share the company’s vision for the country’s next phase of technology-driven growth.

As the company’s largest global hub, TeKnowledge delivers services to over 90 countries from Nigeria and employs more than 2,000 local experts. It drives strong partnerships across both the public and private sectors, working closely with stakeholders to build sustainable digital ecosystems. In collaboration with Microsoft, TeKnowledge has trained thousands in AI skills—including more than 7,000 Nigerians and over 1,000 women through targeted ICT programs. The company serves as a trusted technology services partner to more than 40 Nigerian organizations, delivering solutions across skilling, digital transformation, and managed services.

Cybersecurity remains central to TeKnowledge’s transformation model, with its Security Operations Center hosted in Nigeria. The company offers award-winning cybersecurity expertise, with a proven track record in proactive defense and scalable security solutions across Africa and beyond. Its AI-driven security systems detect risks, predict attacks, and respond in real time—enabling clients to focus on what matters most. This capability not only builds resilience but also directly strengthens customer experience and trust. In today’s digital landscape, customers expect secure, seamless interactions—and organizations that prioritize cybersecurity protect data, earn confidence, and foster lasting relationships.

“This is an exciting milestone—one that reflects how far TeKnowledge has come and the future we’re building together with our ecosystem,” said Olugbolahan Olusanya, Africa Territory Director, TeKnowledge. “Our new brand and AI-First Expert Technology Services model are grounded in what has always mattered most: people, trust, and progress.”

The event celebrated Nigeria’s legacy of transformation—from its industrial and creative sectors to its growing leadership in applied AI—and applauded both the Nigerian government and private sector for leading the continent in delivering tangible returns from AI.

“Nigeria has always been a nation of transformation,” said Nidal Abou-Ltaif, Chief Revenue and Transformation Officer at TeKnowledge. “From the ancient trade networks of Kano to the fintech revolution and Nollywood’s global rise, progress here has always been driven by purpose. Today, Nigerian business leaders aren’t just exploring AI—they’re acting on it with urgency, focus, and vision.”

Yet, as innovation scales, structural challenges persist. Fragmented systems, limited AI-specific talent, and evolving regulatory frameworks continue to slow widespread adoption. Nigeria’s National AI Strategy highlights the need for stronger cross-sector alignment to ensure that AI-driven progress is inclusive, sustainable, and strategic.

TeKnowledge’s AI-First approach focuses on helping clients move from ambition to action—scaling solutions that are ethical, locally relevant, and built to last. With over 6,000 experts across 19 global hubs, TeKnowledge blends global scale with local expertise. Its strong ecosystem of partners, including Microsoft and Genesys, enables its experts to deliver AI-first solutions for enterprise productivity and customer experience, leveraging cloud and modern workplace technologies. Seventy percent of its workforce is certified in these platforms, reflecting deep technical capability and ongoing investment in talent.

A bold visual identity, global expansion, and a people-first strategy signal the next chapter in expert tech services.

Colorado Springs, USA & Nicosia, Cyprus – April 15, 2025 – TeKnowledge today announced a new brand identity and the launch of its AI-First Expert Technology Services, an integrated model designed to help enterprises accelerate transformation across AI, Customer Experience, and Cybersecurity.

At the heart of the evolved identity of TeKnowledge is a unified service model that brings together strategy, delivery, and continuous improvement—strategically rooted in AI and designed to deliver a continuum of innovation.

“This is an exciting milestone—one that reflects how far TeKnowledge has come and the future it is building together with our ecosystem,” said Aileen Allkins, President and CEO of TeKnowledge. “Our new brand and AI-First Expert Technology Services model are grounded in what’s always mattered most: people, trust, and progress.”

As enterprises scale AI initiatives, many face mounting complexity, vendor fragmentation, and siloed implementation. According to Gartner, 77% of CIOs say it’s difficult to deliver value from AI due to fragmented systems. IDC reports 70% cite vendor sprawl as a barrier to innovation, while Forrester finds only 21% have an AI stack capable of scaling across the business.

“Our new service model connects strategy, execution, and optimization in one seamless experience,” said Nidal Abu Ltaif, Chief Revenue and Transformation Officer. “It empowers clients to integrate AI with confidence and evolve continuously, delivering long-term value at every stage of transformation.”

Partnerships, Global Reach, and a Talent-Driven Mindset

TeKnowledge is expanding its global footprint and investing in talent to meet rising client needs. With over 6,000 experts across 19 global hubs, the company delivers expert-led transformation grounded in local relevance and technical excellence.

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, TeKnowledge specializes in Microsoft Productivity, Business Applications, and Intelligent Cloud.; 70% of its workforce is certified in Microsoft cloud and AI technologies, the company consistently delivers impact. A newly announced global collaboration with Genesys further strengthens its ability to modernize and personalize client environments. These partnerships enhance the impact of the AI-First model—accelerating outcomes through seamless platform integration.

TeKnowledge’s growth is driven by a people-centric culture that prioritizes continuous learning and development. By investing significantly in its employees’ growth, the company cultivates expertise that consistently outpaces industry norms, resulting in a highly skilled, deeply engaged team that stays and grows with the organization.

“We build long-term, flexible relationships—with our clients, our partners, and our people,” said Abu Ltaif. “That’s how we create resilient, growth-ready organizations.” Ongoing global expansions have strengthened the company’s established presence, enhancing its ability to deliver locally relevant services with global reach.

2025 marks a new chapter for TeKnowledge—one grounded in purpose, shaped by progress, and driven by our clients’ evolving needs. This moment isn’t just about a new logo or visual identity—it reflects a deeper transformation in how we serve, scale, and show up for the world around us.

It’s been a time of momentum and clarity. We’ve expanded globally, deepened our expertise, and formed powerful new partnerships—including a global collaboration with Genesys. These steps are deliberate, focused on helping clients meet complexity with confidence and unlock new possibilities through technology.

That transformation is now visible in our new visual identity, representing limitless possibilities, while our updated colour system reflects the way we approach every challenge—with clarity, creativity, and deep technical focus. But this evolution goes far beyond how we look—it’s about how we deliver.

With the launch of our AI-First Expert Technology Services model, we’re introducing a more unified, integrated way of helping organizations transform faster and scale smarter. This model brings together Advisory & Professional Services, Skilling & Adoption, and Managed Services into one seamless, outcome-driven framework—strategically rooted in AI and designed to deliver a continuum of innovation.

Whether it’s accelerating AI adoption, improving customer experience, or strengthening cybersecurity, our clients now have one connected partner across the entire technology lifecycle. This approach eliminates silos, reduces friction, and delivers measurable outcomes—because transformation shouldn’t be fragmented. It should be focused, inclusive, and built to evolve.

That same philosophy guides how we grow. At TeKnowledge, we’ve always believed technology should be a bridge—not a barrier. And that belief drives our expansion into new markets, our investment in people, and our commitment to building more inclusive local ecosystems.

Laura López, General Manager of the Costa Rican Trade Promotion Agency (PROCOMER), captured it well when she said:

“Strengthening Costa Rica’s tech ecosystem is essential for the country’s economic growth. TeKnowledge’s expansion in Cartago supports this goal by creating jobs and advancing digital skills development to meet current and future market demands. Additionally, with the opening of its new offices, the company is offering quality job opportunities to more people, including graduates from technical high schools.”

We’re proud to be recognized for purposeful, inclusive growth. Our commitment to continuous learning and long-term growth reflects a culture where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to stay and thrive.

This new chapter is about what we can build, together. On behalf of our global team, thank you for being part of our story. We’re excited for what’s ahead. Explore our new digital home at teknowledge.com and discover what’s next.

When we started building TeKnowledge, we didn’t set out to be loud. More importantly, we set out to be useful. We’ve spent the last decade listening to clients, delivering consistently, and evolving deliberately. What’s happening now is a natural next step—just made visible.

Our new brand marks more than a shift in how we show up. It reflects who we’ve become and what we’re building next. We’ve grown from a trusted service provider into a strategic partner—guiding clients through some of their most complex, high-stakes transformation journeys. That evolution deserves to be seen, not just in design, but in how we deliver.

At the heart of this shift is the launch of AI-First Expert Technology Services, a connected model that brings together advisory, delivery, skilling, and managed services: a model built for AI-first by design, outcome-first by intent.

We’re helping clients not just adopt AI—but scale it practically, securely, and across functions. That’s a critical distinction. Whether we’re enabling Microsoft Copilot adoption in the enterprise or working with governments to deliver national skilling programs, our approach starts with people, not platforms. Because transformation doesn’t begin with technology. It begins with trust.

That same trust is what fuels our ecosystem. Partnerships are core to how we simplify complexity and create real momentum. We are proud to be one of Microsoft’s global and longstanding partners. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, our expert services in AI, Customer Experience, and Cybersecurity are rooted in Microsoft’s AI-powered Productivity, Business Applications, and Intelligent Cloud platforms.

In fact, more than 70% of our team are certified experts in Microsoft technologies—and that number is only growing. We’re actively investing in deepening that expertise across regions to meet rising demand and keep clients ahead of what’s next.

That investment goes hand-in-hand with our regional growth. This year, we’ve expanded our services in El Salvador and Honduras, and we’re growing our presence in the Middle East, unlocking high-impact partnerships across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In Africa, we’ve been recognized as Africa’s Most Innovative Tech Support Services Company of 2024, and we’re building momentum for broader offerings across the continent.

Moreover, we’re building a dynamic ecosystem of partners—designed for relevance to Microsoft’s government and enterprise customers, and built to flex with what our clients need most.

That’s why we invest heavily in our people and their continuous growth. The result is a team that doesn’t just understand technology—they know how to apply it, scale it, and keep learning as the landscape evolves.

This moment is about bringing clarity to what we’ve been building—and making it easier for clients to access it, align with it, and move forward. We’re here to accelerate. To be the trusted partner that shows up when it matters most.

We move into this next chapter with purpose, confidence, and a clear mandate: To be a catalyst for change; not just for our clients, but for the industries, ecosystems, and communities we serve.
