Backbone
Structured cabling, LAN and WAN, wireless, datacentre and voice.
We engineer the infrastructure organisations run on, automate the decisions that move through it, and hold ourselves to a standard you can inspect — never one you must take on trust.
Our positioning ladder charts the path we walk beside a client. Each rung earns the right to the next — and each stands as a complete engagement in its own right.
Structured cabling, LAN and WAN, wireless, datacentre and voice.
Monitoring, service desk, SLA dashboards and asset records.
Cybersecurity, governance, continuity and compliance.
Workflow automation, Smart DMS, analytics and digital services.
One project management office. One externally certified quality system. One engineering pool. Procure a single domain or the entire stack — the governance around it never changes.
Design, construct, certify and document the connectivity backbone — cabling, switching, wireless, datacentre and VoIP.
Convert paper-bound organisational processes into governed digital workflows on the Microsoft Power Platform.
Keep the estate in health, in visibility and answerable to a service level agreement.
Protect the estate, and demonstrate that it is protected — with evidence an auditor accepts.
Source the correct equipment, under warranty, through accredited channel partners.
Govern scope, risk, cost and acceptance from initiation through to formal close-out.
Transformation programmes falter where the foundation is unexamined. We establish the connectivity, instrument it, secure it, and only then automate upon it — so that each advance rests upon something demonstrably sound.
Smart DMS is our own product — already built, already published on the Microsoft commercial marketplace, already proven in service. Clients configure a live platform rather than fund a development experiment.
Multi-level submission chains with authentication at each level, amendment control and executive routing.
Memorandum capture, rules-based routing, commentary, approval and digital signature.
Leave lifecycles with balance validation, supervisory and HR review, payroll-ready tracking.
Central repository with classification, ISO 15489-aligned retention, search and audit history.
Every invoice traced from capture to payment — attributed at each step, immutable after the fact.
Requisition to offer on delegation rules, with an audit trail that withstands a selection dispute.
Capture, exceptions and sign-off feeding payroll-ready records on the same case model.
Tender and quotation lifecycles governed gate by gate — evidenced, thresholded, immutable once awarded.
Every module rides one governance spine — delegation routing, immutable audit, ISO 15489 retention — with service delivery aligned to ITIL 4 and COBIT 2019.
Our six-stage methodology lives inside the ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Work advances only when the preceding stage is evidenced — never on assurance alone.
Survey, topology and risk. Countersigned before mobilisation.
BoQ, IP and VLAN plan, wireless layout and schedule.
Cable, configure, label and commission to standard.
Fluke certification, failover testing and user acceptance.
As-builts, asset registers and a signed acceptance certificate.
Monitoring, support and monthly SLA reporting.
Each entry below is a concluded engagement. Several commenced as a single-site brief and matured into multi-site provincial rollouts or continuing managed services.
Six principals hold the standard — from bid to build to acceptance.
KBS Academy exists to confront unemployment with training that ends in real work. We prepare young South Africans for technical careers — on live sites, under supervision — and release that capability into the economy: some of it into our own teams, most of it into the country that needs it.
Whether the difficulty is an estate you cannot observe, an approval nobody can trace, or an audit finding you would prefer not to repeat — an initial conversation carries no obligation and almost always brings clarity.
