Our Mission

We provide organisations with ICT consulting and engineering services to envision, design, construct and support product-based software solutions that enable business growth, innovation and operational excellence.


Our Leadership

  • Driving our commitment to deliver business value to our customers
  • Developing our people by fuelling their passion

Management Team

SmartWave is structured into four teams, each managed by a team leader (in some cases with a deputy). Each team leader is a senior consultant with a minimum of 10 years of professional experience and five years of work in SmartWave. They have three main management roles: people, technical offer and delivery quality. This structure enables our consultants to focus on customer satisfaction.
