ViaData Honours UCT Students

October 17th, 2008 | by admin |

On the 14th of October 2008 ViaData once again honoured UCT 3rd year students by presenting their ‘Award for Excellence’ at the University of Cape Town IS Expo. The award is given to the top systems development project undertaken by a team of 3rd year students and this year the winning projects were of an exceptionally high standard.

Speaking at the event, Craig Byren, MD of ViaData, challenged the students to use the skills they have learnt to go out into the business world and really make a difference. Quoting from a speech by Allen Brown, President & Chief Executive Officer of The Open Group, Craig reminded students that the real value in IT lies in the I (Information) not the T (Technology) and that by focusing on delivering value through Information, it was possible to leave customers squirming with delight.
