The approval process, formerly done manually through e-mail, is now part of an automated workflow, further simplifying administration and streamlining site creation and updates.
A national radio station for each of the eleven official languages is run by the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation). Most of South Africa's popular radio stations are now available online, so you can log on to all the local music, news and talk worldwide and tune in for live streaming radio.

The v7.3 high speed digital camera takes over 6, 000 frames a second, at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Like early video cameras, the v7.3 has to be teathered to an external machine which records the images. Decades ago that machine was a VCR, today it’s a desktop computer with blazing fast memory.

"Before recommitting to Vignette and selecting TCS, SABC carefully researched technology vendors and partners to ensure that our investment delivers results beyond just technology functionality," said Sharoda Rapeti, MD Technology at SABC. "SABC selected Vignette for a previous deployment for its www.sabcnews.com site, which has matured into one of the most successful online news properties in the last few years. Through the careful selection of the right development partner, TCS, and capitalizing on our knowledge from our previous Vignette investment, SABC achieved significant business benefits such as rapid content deployment and operational advantages. With these types of enhancements to the content workflow for online content publishing, my division has been able to deliver a truly business-led, technology-enabled environment for the public broadcaster."
"Since bobPay is built on the bidorbuy backbone, a RedHat Linux Apache Web server, an application server using a Java Server Pages (JSP) Engine, the entire system is wholly scalable. As bidorbuy's traffic and the South African online payment market grow, bobPay will allow us to expand along with these developments. Additionally, as bidorbuy owns all of the bobPay source code, we are able to customise the solution to meet conditions specific to bidorbuy and the South African market, " adds Higgins.
