As facilitators and providers of funding, investment banks have a major role to play in bringing the TMT sector’s new technologies to usersThe massive advances in our smart devices’ technology and processing power have become a given. Most people have lost count of the number of times they have been told that smart devices now have more processing power than the spacecraft used in Nasa’s Apollo moon missions.
Most of us are not digital natives, yet we embrace the convenience of the computing power built into smartphones . Besides phone calls, which are so last century, our mobile devices give us access to messages, emails and calendars. My device has a “more than I could ever wish for” 12-megapixel camera and 64GB of storage , streams YouTube and Netflix content, has the Uber app, Google Maps, and Apple’s health data that my Discovery medical aid uses to give me loyalty points.
Yet this “new normal” is both exciting and scary. As a facilitator and provider of capital, Rand Merchant Bank , an investment bank, has a major role to play in bringing this wizardry to users by investing in the infrastructure and businesses of our clients in the telecommunications, media and technology sector.
RMB has experience across the continent in investing in, and rolling out, the infrastructure that underpins this Fourth Industrial Revolution, including fibre-optic networks, 3G/4G networks and tower infrastructure, and data centres.
