Networking the V&A Waterfront

A unique travel service which was launched over 2 years ago, is proving to be very popular with guests at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront Clock Tower Precinct. The precinct offers a state-of-the-art Tourism Centre which links both visitors and tenants to multi-million Rand technology. The entire building is networked, says Noer Asmodien, Network Manager of the V&A Waterfront. The Waterfront management company sees IT as a strategic business unit rather than just a service. This visionary outlook means that the company wanted to use IT to create facilities that would give it an revenue stream and make it money, rather than costing it money. Asmoedien believes that Internet is at the centre of this approach, “this is one of the ways that we’ve been able to afford this world-class infrastructure”. He says that everyone - all his tenants and all their visitors – want to be connected. With faster and faster connections becoming available, they feel that they’re going to be offering the best service in the Foreshore area.
