New data center in Johannesburg enhances security, compliance, and flexibility for African organizations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wolters Kluwer, a global leader in professional information, software solutions, and services, has announced the expansion of its cloud infrastructure with the launch of a new TeamCloud Hosting Data Center in Johannesburg, South Africa. This strategic move underscores the commitment to meeting the growing demand from clients across Africa through enabling superior data sovereignty, compliance, and performance.

The TeamCloud service offers African organizations enhanced security, reliability, and seamless access, ensuring that internal audit teams remain productive, compliant, and ready for the future. The new Microsoft Azure Johannesburg TeamMate Cloud Hosting Data Center joins the global network of TeamMate data centers, enabling African organizations to store their data locally while adhering to regional compliance standards and leveraging global best practices.

Frans Klaassen, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Audit & Assurance, said: " Our new Johannesburg TeamCloud Hosting Data Center reflects our commitment to helping businesses in Africa thrive. By removing the burden of infrastructure management and offering unparalleled security, we empower our clients to concentrate on what matters most — driving success in their audit and compliance operations.”

Robust security measures offer several key benefits for clients:

1. Enhanced Protection: Clients' data is safeguarded against unauthorized access and cyber threats, ensuring confidentiality and integrity.
2. Compliance Assurance: Adhering to stringent security protocols helps clients meet regional and international compliance standards.
3. Operational Continuity: Redundant power supplies and environmental controls ensure uninterrupted service, even during power outages.
4. Peace of Mind: Continuous monitoring and regular audits provide clients with confidence that their data is secure and any vulnerabilities are promptly addressed.
5. Focus on Core Activities: With security managed by experts, clients can concentrate on their primary business objectives without worrying about data protection.

With TeamCloud, African organizations eliminate the need for additional hardware investments as their TeamMate database expands. By minimizing the involvement of internal IT teams, TeamMate experts manage servers, monitor performance, and ensure optimal system availability. Clients also benefit from full access to TeamMate’s dedicated support team for any technical or general inquiries regarding the TeamMate suite.
