Vision 

To become the premier provider of applications software and services in South Africa. 

History

Dynamic Technology Holdings (JSE:DTH) has its origins in DVT, which was formed Cape Town in 1999 by entrepreneurs Chris Wilkins and Clive Hubbard as a provider of software development services focusing on Microsoft technologies.  From a handful of staff at inception, the business grew rapidly over the next five years, performing profitably through some of the most challenging times in the IT industry.  This resulted in a focused, efficient and resilient business.  

Sustained growth within been achieved by 

• expansion into the much larger market of Gauteng during 2004; 
• simultaneous diversification into another mainstream development technology, viz. Java; 
• the addition of licensed software products to DVT’s offering via three small acquisitions (Solutional in 2005,  Offline Digital in 2007 and Emerald Consulting in 2008). 

During 2006 DVT underwent a significant restructure, with a consortium of experienced IT executives buying a controlling stake in DVT from the founders, followed soon after by an investment by black-owned Cornastone.   This resulted in the creation of group of companies under holdings company, Dynamic Technology Holdings (formerly Dynamic Visual Technology Holdings).

In 2007, the group was re-organised in preparation for the listing on ALTX by the acquisition of all minorities in the operating subsidiaries for shares in the holding company and the buyout of one of the founders, Clive Hubbard. The holdings company was listed as DTH on the ALTX on 6 November 2007 and raised R15,8m in a private placement.


Core Business

DTH is a holdings company for a number of businesses that specialise in the delivery of tailor-made software solutions and a range of software development professional services.

These solutions are developed using a combination of frameworks and components, packaged software and custom development, primarily based on the Microsoft and Java platforms.

To deliver these services, the group employs over 150 staff, most of whom are professionals across a wide range of disciplines including project management, business analysis, and software development and testing.

The DTH Group companies provide solutions to large and medium sized corporate clients in South Africa; primarily in the Financial Services, Retail, Business Services and Telecommunications sectors.  Key characteristics of the target market are an inability to attract scarce technical skills, the need to replenish dated systems, a requirement to outsource complex and expensive software development projects and a backlog of requirements for mission critical software solutions.
