The launch comes at a time when many African businesses are migrating to the cloud, driven by numerous benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. By investing in Uganda's first Azure Stack hub, Liquid is not only proving its commitment to the country's digital transformation, but also actively assisting the Uganda Digital Transformation Roadmap. This roadmap intends to connect 90% of Ugandan households to the internet by 2040, which Liquid asserts it is committed to helping achieve.
“The Azure Stack hub in the country will be a game-changer for local businesses. It will provide them with cost-effective access to local cloud solutions, help them meet local data regulatory requirements, and enable them to run latency-sensitive business applications efficiently,” said Michael Mukasa, CEO of Liquid Intelligent Technologies Uganda. “This is the fifth country that Liquid has deployed Microsoft Azure Stack in Africa, which is indicative of our expertise in partnering with businesses of all sizes to digitally transform. The Azure stack will not only benefit large enterprises but also accelerate cloud adoption among the Ugandan small and medium enterprises through flexible adoption models.”
