Have you seen any other company with apostrophe after its name, except Yahoo!? Now, you can, thanks to Ugandan Yo!.

 

Yo Uganda Limited (“Yo!”) is a software company.  We develop and market software products with a focus on software for telecommunications services, billing systems, mobile applications and web applications.  We also provide services such as software development services on contract, SMS gateway services, hosted IVR services and ICT consultancy.

 

We have over 25 years of combined staff experience in developing and deploying SMS and IVR based content and application delivery platforms, as well as mobile applications. We are actively developing and marketing 4 products which are key to successfully running a Wireless Application Services Provider business.  These products combine SMS, IVR, Mobile Internet and Billing Integration to provide a comprehensive service delivery platform.  We have deployed some of these products for organizations such as UNICEF in Nambia and the Grameen Foundation in Uganda and Ghana.

 

Some Products

YVoiceAds is a voice telephony mobile advertising system.  The way YVoiceAds works is that a toll-free number is provided for the general public to call.  When the public calls this toll-free number, a recorded advertisement for a participating company will be selected and played back to the caller.  If the caller listens to the full advertisement, then they will be credited with an amount of prepaid airtime.

 

YBS is a multipurpose billing, mobile commerce and telephony services provision platform. YBS has capabilities to handle prepaid and post-paid billing, calling cards, SMS, mobile commerce and almost any configuration of telephony services provision.

 

Socius is a comprehensive conference call services platform.  Apart from the ability to receive and manage conference calls, conference calls are fully controllable from a web interface.

 

MobileSuv is a mobile-enabled information gathering and dissemination platform. By supporting multiple mobile transport technologies including SMS, Voice and GPRS/EDGE, MobileSuv allow efficient and convenient information gathering. MobileSuv combines the benefits of a web-based interface and a mobile application to maximize usability in a wide range of conditions.

 

INTELLIVR is our advanced Interactive Voice Response product. With years of development behind it, INTELLIVR has been refined to satisfy the most sophisticated IVR use-cases.  While INTELLIVR provides the most common functions out of the box, it provides a plug-in interface to allow custom applications to be developed – meaning you are not tied down to any specific application.  INTELLIVR’s web-based graphical user interface (GUI) makes it immensely easy for non-technical staff to set up and manage IVR services.

Private Equity Firm, Carlyle, Opens Offices in Nigeria and South Africa

People, the best place to be, right now, is to be in Africa or be doing something in Africa. We have complained about the lack of funds. That is going to change, because private equity firms are increasingly moving to Africa. South Africa and Nigeria are taking a big chunk of these new arrivals. Some of the best investment companies in the world are finding home in the continent. This was contained in a paper authored by Imara.

Nothing seems to be stopping the lion. It is moving ahead and the likes of Carlyle Group has joined the show. Now is the time for that great idea, because the continent is on the move.

While the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that rising fuel and food prices are the main economic threats in Sub-Saharan Africa and that monetary tightening has failed to keep pace, economic growth in the region has firmly returned to pre-financial crisis levels. The IMF has reiterated its forecast of 5.5% GDP growth for the region this year and 5.9% in 2012, with low-income countries that make up the bulk of the continent expected to recover the fastest. Ethiopia, for example is forecast to grow 8.5% this year.

Our own surveys have also revealed that private equity firms are creating teams and raising new funds to target investment in Africa. Carlyle Group, for example recently opened offices in South Africa and Nigeria and believes that the continent is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. According to various sources, the Washington-based buyout firm raised $500 million for its first Middle East and North Africa fund in 2009, and is now looking to raise another $500 million for its first fund targeting Sub-Saharan Africa. Vital Capital Investments LP, which invests in housing and agriculture in Africa is also reported to have raised more than USD 250.0m for its first fund and plans to get another $250 million in the near future.

The Carlyle Group

Established in 1987, The Carlyle Group is a private global investment firm that originates, structures and acts as lead equity investor in management-led buyouts, strategic minority equity investments, equity private placements, consolidations and buildups, and growth capital financings.
