Analytics Intelligence [AI], a leading provider of artificial intelligence and data analytics solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Open Access Data Centres (OADC), a WIOCC Group company, to develop sovereign AI and cloud solutions that enable African enterprises to deploy secure, scalable, and locally hosted AI infrastructure.
The partnership brings
together [AI] Analytics Intelligence’s enterprise AI platform and advanced
analytics capabilities with OADC’s growing network of edge data centres across
Africa.
Together, the two
organisations are bringing to the market integrated NeoCloud solutions that
simplify AI adoption while addressing the increasing demand for data
sovereignty, regulatory compliance and high-performance infrastructure across
the continent. Central to the offering is access to high-performance compute,
including AI Processing Units (APUs) hosted within OADC’s data centres, giving
enterprises the accelerated processing power needed to train and run demanding
AI workloads locally.
As AI adoption accelerates
across Africa, organisations are looking for technology solutions that allow
them to harness the power of AI without compromising data privacy, security or
local regulatory requirements. This collaboration is designed to address those
needs by combining trusted infrastructure with enterprise-grade AI capabilities
in a unified offering.
Analytics Intelligence will
lead the development of industry-specific AI applications tailored to
enterprise use cases. For financial institutions, this includes secure private
analytics environments that support data sovereignty and regulatory compliance.
Speaking on the
partnership, David Edoja, Founder and CEO of [AI] Analytics Intelligence, said:
“Africa’s AI future
depends on more than powerful technology; it depends on infrastructure that is
secure, resilient, and built for the realities of our markets. With OADC, we’re
putting enterprise-grade AI and the compute power behind it directly into the
hands of African organisations, helping them innovate with confidence while
keeping their data where it belongs, on the continent and under their
control.”
Ayotunde Coker, Chief
Executive Officer of OADC, added: “Our mission has always been to bring
world-class digital infrastructure closer to the businesses and communities
that rely on it. By partnering with [AI] Analytics Intelligence, we’re
combining that infrastructure with advanced AI capabilities to help
organisations accelerate innovation while meeting their performance, security
and compliance requirements.”
The partnership represents
a shared commitment to strengthening Africa’s digital economy by making
sovereign AI infrastructure more accessible to businesses across the continent.
As organisations continue to invest in AI-driven transformation, [AI] Analytics
Intelligence and OADC will work together to develop solutions that support
innovation while meeting the region’s evolving data residency, security, and
operational requirements.
