A few years ago, workplace technology conversations centred around product specifications, hardware features and technical capabilities.

Today, the conversation is different.

According to industry insights from ITWeb and TechTron, South African organisations are placing greater emphasis on solutions that simplify workflows, improve collaboration and deliver measurable business outcomes.

Business leaders are now asking:

✔ Is it easy to use?
✔ Will our teams adopt it?
✔ Can it integrate with our existing technology?
✔ Will it scale as our business grows?
✔ Does it deliver real value and return on investment?

Technology decisions are increasingly being driven by employee experience and business outcomes rather than features alone.

At Kathea Communications, we're seeing this shift firsthand. That's one of the reasons we recently launched our Online Partner Portal - to give our partners faster access to product information, pricing, stock availability and business resources through a simpler, more efficient digital experience. It's part of our commitment to making it easier for partners to do business with us while supporting their growth in an evolving technology landscape.

💬 Question:
When evaluating workplace technology, what's your number one priority?

A sincere thank you to OMEGA for inviting Kathea to be part of the OMEGA SURGE Technology Conference 2026 at Avianto.

We were proud to support our valued distribution partners, ATEN and Logitech, during this two-day conference, which brought together customers, partners, and technology leaders to explore the future of collaboration and innovation.

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 27 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

As we celebrate Women's Month, we're proud to recognise the incredible women whose dedication has helped shape Kathea Communications over the years.

Today, we honour 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐢 𝐊𝐞𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐚, who celebrates an outstanding 27 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚.

Since joining the team in 1999, Martha has been so much more than the person who keeps our workplace running. She has been a constant source of warmth, care and kindness for generations of Kathea employees - welcoming new team members, supporting those who have moved on, preparing countless cups of tea, breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and always stepping in to help at office functions and events.

It's often the little things that leave the biggest impression, and Martha's positive attitude, caring nature and unwavering dedication have made a lasting impact on everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside her.

When asked what has inspired her to remain at Kathea for 27 years, Martha shared:

"The excellent working conditions and the way Kathea treats its employees with dignity and respect have kept me inspired and proud to be part of the team."

Martha, thank you for 27 years of commitment, compassion and the countless ways you've helped make Kathea feel like more than just a workplace. Your contribution is deeply appreciated, and we're honoured to celebrate this remarkable milestone with you.

Please join us in congratulating Martha on this incredible achievement 🎉

This is just the beginning. We're committed to continuously improving the Partner Portal, and your feedback will remain a key part of that journey as we introduce new features and enhancements.

24/07/2026

A large-scale workplace study found that employees using generative AI spent significantly less time on email and documentation tasks, but meeting time remained largely unchanged.

What this means:

AI is already helping individuals work faster.

The next challenge is helping teams collaborate more effectively together.

Kathea's Perspective:

While AI is helping individuals work more efficiently, meetings remain one of the biggest opportunities for organisations to improve productivity.

The next evolution of workplace technology isn't just about helping people work faster on their own - it's about helping teams collaborate more effectively together.

This includes:
✔ AI-powered meeting summaries and action items
✔ Intelligent cameras that keep participants engaged
✔ Professional audio solutions that ensure everyone can be heard clearly
✔ Collaboration spaces designed for both in-room and remote participants
✔ Technologies that reduce meeting friction and improve participation
