With this project, we truly aim at contributing to an educational experience for all, and a more dynamic demand management framework to support Utilities effort to optimise their delivery". Christophe Viarnaud, Chairman of the Methys group, added "Kwami, created by the Methys Labs in Cape Town’s Silicon Cape, is the 4th start up project we are generating in less than 3 years. It demonstrates our ability to leverage on our core expertise in big data, mobile application and eCommerce to generate business ideas which rapidly become successful business ventures. Kwami is an interesting application contributing to the internet of things.
