Wahseema Miller and the Temo Digital team pride themselves in providing their clients with solutions that are geared towards addressing business and social needs. When they were invited to join the Innovator Trust SMME incubation program 3 years ago, the team became enlightened to just how limitless their prosperity would become simply by holding each other accountable for their employment creation objectives. Since the start of their relationship with Innovator Trust, the Temo Digitalteamhastransformedfromjusta30%female representationtoanimpressive58%!

“Our journey with Innovator Trust has been helpful even when we did not realise the shifts that were actually happening. This relationship has given us access to great networks, practical learningsandreallybeingguidedinourrolesasentrepreneurs”

The young talent that makes up the Temo Digital family comprises of 50% formally trained ICT professionals, while the other 50% joined the family as interns/graduatesandhavebeensuccessfullymentoredintoprogressiveroles.

“We’re fun, there’s lots of ideas between us and since we have adopted (and have collectively been trained on Agile methodology) we’ve definitely seen business maturity and faster turnaround time The efficiency that comes with workingasacollectiveisverysatisfying”saysleaderWahseemaMiller.

She and her team define themselves as possessing the superpower of simplicity in the methods they use to provide a positive user experience and secure access for the clients who have entrusted their businesses with them

Wahseema reckons that the uniqueness of her team lies in their strong consulting background, with some of the members having proven their skills through their success in large-scale transformation. This experience has enhanced the team’s customer centricity, which allows them to tailor their bespoke solutions in such a way that while addressing their clients’ needs they do not stray away from industry standards and the latest tech trends. Their approach to technology being a means to simplify and declutter gave them the brilliant idea of upskilling their clients and giving them a sense of ownership of the solutions created by the team A lot of businesses would avoid this approach like the plague because cutting the umbilical cord of dependency on service providers is not a seed they would want to plant in the minds of their clients

At the top of her voice, Wahseema sings the praises of founder, Russell Miller whose mentorship under the parent company Tempo Consulting was able to take the team of 5 through the baby steps that would in time lead to unbelievable growth.

Today Temo Digital has grown to be the home of 32 team members. She goes on to state that she attributes her team’s success to the trust that they have all grown to have in one another over the years No person and certainly no company that existed in 2020 will ever be able to tell their life story without relaying how the pandemic nearly flipped their lives upside down.

Temo Digital is no exception according to Wahseema who shares how they have not been able to do any outreach work since the pandemic hit.

But with her team that is ever ready and willing to give back to the community whose support has been the backbone of their success, will be kicking off their 1000 Women In Tech Program at the end of this year, 2023 For now, the program will be based in Cape Town and those who wish to apply should be able to make the commute Through the program, she and her team intend to empower women with basic technology skills to curb the “required experience” challenge that graduates often face when seeking employment.
