Integrated cloud platform provider, South Africa-based Routed, has again been recognised among the continent’s fastest growing companies – in the FT/Statista 2024 rankings.
Andrew Cruise – Managing Director, Routed.
In the announcement of the third annual Financial Times’ rankings of Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies, Routed made the list for the second successive year, ranking 98th in the overall listing and 14th in the category for IT & Software Services.
The FT/Statista 2024 annual ranking of Africa’s fastest growing companies looks at a range of industries, ranking them based on the common denominator of their compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue.
“With fewer than half the companies that were listed in 2023 making the grade again in 2024, Routed’s second successive annual ranking is a significant achievement,” says Andrew Cruise, Managing Director at Routed.
He points out that cloud computing remains one of the biggest trends in 2024, adding that Routed has built its business on addressing all enterprise cloud, recovery and modern application development requirements.
“The cloud market is continuing to grow exponentially and our work in this space has helped us to make the FT list again. Today, Routed is positioned as one of the best cloud providers in the local market, as a result of the trust we have built up with channel partners, and our ability to enable a seamless cloud journey,” he says.
“We describe ourselves as a service provider to service providers, and our strong cloud skills and experience, together with our commitment to our customers, are factors that have helped us build our business into one of the best subscription-based private cloud platforms available.”
Cruise adds that Routed’s ability, working with its partners, to deliver some of the most complete VMware cloud-based infrastructure deployments available locally is a key driver of company revenue. “We have built our reputation as experts in the cloud ecosystem,” he says.
Cruise notes that as a South African company, Routed is in a position to deliver personalised, local support when clients need it. This is backed up by a team of local experts who understand the local business environment and local organisations’ needs and are well-equipped to deal with issues promptly.
As well as providing personalised levels of support, Routed offers flexible pricing plans, allowing partners to choose a plan that meets their customer’s specific needs and budget. In addition, Cruise says, the company has invested in its network infrastructure, so partners can be certain they have access to a reliable and secure cloud environment.
“One of the reasons for our success is that customers can deploy their applications and services in the cloud quickly and easily, and the platform is highly scalable, which means clients can scale their applications up or down as needed. By providing our customers with a seamless cloud environment, we enable them to focus on their core business, while we take care of the rest.”
He says, “Routed is thrilled to be recognised again by the FT for its continuing growth and remains committed to succeeding in the fast-evolving cloud environment. We aim to continue this success by being willing to embrace change and, at the same time, staying true to our values as a vendor-neutral infrastructure provider.”
