We are pleased to begin collaborating with JIS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, to offer our board automation services in conjunction with William Radcliffe’s trust and financial management services to JSE’s listed companies, JIS clients as well as any unlisted clients. I trust that this collaboration will steer the adoption of BoardPAC across South Africa.”
