Could this be Bharti 2nd strategy (out of four) in Kenya? Just a thought. On 17/09/2010, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com> wrote:
This is a bold move and a clear statement of how serious Bharti is taking the intervention in Africa. As James Murua points out in his blog post ( http://bit.ly/avQeUT) Bharti is working with IBM so that they (Bharti) can focus on their core strengths and hit the market hard through partnerships.
In the words of a speaker at AITEC's EA ICT conference, Bharti outsources "everything" which allows them to minimize on capital and operating expenses - but more importantly - to hit their target markets hard and square.
Can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeve!

For those who missed it, IBMs Samuel Palmisano was in the country this morning, physically, not virtually via Hologram . He was here for the announcement about Bharti's partnership with IBM.
Here's the press release from IBM:
