Choose a service. See how it helps.
AI Adoption and Automation
Turn AI from a concept into real business value. We help you identify the right use cases, run a focused pilot and implement solutions that save time and improve productivity.
Business challenges
- Hours lost to retyping and chasing approvals
- Staff using AI tools nobody approved
- Pilots that never showed a measured result
Cybersecurity and Risk Assessment
Know where you are exposed and fix what matters first. We assess your systems against a recognised framework, rank the risks by impact and cost, and strengthen the controls that stop the most common attacks.
Business challenges
- No independent review of where you are exposed
- Security questionnaires you cannot answer
- Backups that have never been restored
Cloud, DevOps and Platform Engineering
Make better use of the cloud without losing control of cost or security. We design secure architecture, automate deployments and set up backups and monitoring that are tested, so your systems are documented and restorable.
Business challenges
- Releases that depend on one person
- A cloud bill nobody can explain
- Problems found by customers before your team
IT Infrastructure and Networking
Reliable networks, devices and accounts, set up properly from the first day. We plan connectivity and power, deploy secure devices and networks, and document everything, with on-the-ground coordination in Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Business challenges
- A new office or site with nobody local to set it up
- Outages with no backup link or power plan
- Equipment past its supported life
Technology Strategy and Advisory
Make technology decisions with a clear plan behind them. We align technology with your business goals, prioritise initiatives and turn them into a practical roadmap with a budget, owners and measures.
Business challenges
- Spending without a plan
- No senior technology lead
- A vendor decision or acquisition that needs an independent view
Software Development and Integration
When off-the-shelf software does not fit, or your systems need to work together, we design, build and test the software, then support it or hand it to your team with everything documented.
Business challenges
- Critical work held in spreadsheets
- The same data typed into several systems
- An old application nobody dares to change
IT Recruitment and Contract Staffing
Permanent hires, contractors and contract-to-hire for technical roles. We define the role with you, search for people who match it and test the skill that matters before you meet them.
Business challenges
- A technical role that stays open for months
- Interviewers without the background to test the skill
- A project starting before a permanent hire is possible
IT Outsourcing and Staff Augmentation
Add one professional to your team, set up a dedicated team, or hand a defined piece of technical delivery to us. Each arrangement states who directs the work and how results are reported.
Business challenges
- A roadmap bigger than the team
- One skill missing from a good team
- Support work crowding out project work
Cloud and Infrastructure Migration
Servers, applications, databases, email and data, moved in planned stages. We test before every cutover, keep a way back at each step and stay on after go-live until things settle.
Business challenges
- Hardware out of support and a refresh you would rather not buy
- Systems the business cannot be without, even for a weekend
- A move that stalled halfway
Managed IT Services
Support, maintenance, backups and monitoring under one monthly agreement, with what is covered written down. Alongside your IT person, or instead of an IT department.
Business challenges
- No one to call when something breaks
- Passwords and knowledge held by one person
- Updates and backups left to chance
Build the technology team your business needs.
Whether you need one specialist, additional project resources or an entire technical team, Capital Africa helps organisations explore flexible technology staffing and outsourcing arrangements.
1. Choose the roles
2. Choose an arrangement
We find and assess the person; you employ them.
Choose at least one role, or send the request and describe it.
Request This TalentWe do not publish candidate profiles, rates or availability. Every search starts from your brief, and who employs and pays a contractor is set out in each agreement.
Your industry, your technology.
The challenges below are common in each industry, not a list of clients. Every engagement starts from your situation.
Financial Services
Typical challenges- Customer data and payments that must be protected and audited
- Security questionnaires from regulators, banks and partners
- Older core systems that are hard to integrate
Where we usually start: A security assessment, so evidence for questionnaires and audits exists.
Healthcare
Typical challenges- Patient records that must stay private and available
- Clinical and administrative systems that do not connect
- Devices and networks spread across sites
Where we usually start: A review of who can see patient data, and how it is backed up.
Education
Typical challenges- Many users, many devices and limited IT staff
- Learning and administration platforms to run and secure
- Campus networks and wireless that must cope at peak times
Where we usually start: A network and device review before the next term.
Government and Public Sector
Typical challenges- Records and services moving from paper to digital
- Procurement rules and the need for clear documentation
- Security and continuity for public-facing services
Where we usually start: A roadmap and specifications that fit the procurement process.
Mining
Typical challenges- Remote sites with limited connectivity and power

Where we usually start: A site assessment covering connectivity, power and support.
Logistics and Transportation
Typical challenges- Tracking, warehouse and finance systems that must share data
- Drivers and depots that rely on mobile devices
- Downtime that stops goods moving
Where we usually start: Mapping where data is retyped between systems.
Agriculture
Typical challenges- Rural sites with unreliable connectivity
- Records of production, quality and traceability kept by hand
- Small teams without IT staff
Where we usually start: A practical plan for connectivity and simple digital records.
Manufacturing
Typical challenges- Production systems that cannot stop for upgrades
- Planning and stock held in spreadsheets
- Factory networks that need separating from office IT
Where we usually start: A review of the network and the systems that cannot stop.
Retail
Typical challenges- Payment systems and customer data to protect
- Stock, sales and online channels that do not agree
- Stores that must keep trading when the connection drops
Where we usually start: Connecting stock and sales data, with payment security checked.
Professional Services
Typical challenges- Confidential client documents and email

- Billing and practice systems that need to connect
Where we usually start: Securing email, documents and remote access.
Small and Medium Businesses
Typical challenges- No IT department, and decisions made in a hurry
- Security basics missing: sign-in, backups and updates
- Tools bought one at a time that do not connect
Where we usually start: A short review and a plan that fits the budget.
How would you like to work with us?
Six arrangements, each with a plain split of what we handle and what you direct. Start with one and change it as your needs change.
Recruit an IT Professional
Permanent technical recruitment. For a role you want to fill with your own employee. We define the role with you, search for people who match it and test the skill that matters before you meet them.
- Role definition and search
- Screening and a practical skills check
- A shortlist with notes on each candidate
- Interview scheduling and offer coordination
- Interviews and the final choice
- Employment contract and pay
Hire a Contractor
Short-term or long-term specialist assignments. For a skill you need for a period, not permanently: a migration, a security review, a busy quarter. The contract sets the scope, the hours and how the work is reviewed.
- Finding and vetting the specialist
- Contract terms and onboarding
- Check-ins during the assignment
- Day-to-day priorities
- Acceptance of the work
Extend Your Team
Staff augmentation. Professionals join your existing team, use your tools and follow your processes. Useful when the plan is right but the team is short of hands or of one skill.
- Matching people to your stack and ways of working
- Replacing a person if the fit is wrong
- Regular check-ins with you and them
- Daily work and priorities
- Code reviews, standards and sign-off

- Team setup, tools and management
- Delivery against the agreed scope
- Reporting on progress, risks and quality
- Scope, priorities and acceptance
- A named contact for decisions
Deliver a Project
Complete technology implementation. A defined piece of work, from requirements to handover: a migration, a new network, an integration, an application. One plan, one accountable lead, tested before it goes live.
- Planning, design and delivery
- Testing, deployment and documentation
- Handover and support after go-live
- Approval of scope and changes
- Sign-off at agreed stages
Managed IT Support
Ongoing technology operations. Support for your staff, maintenance, backups and monitoring under one monthly agreement, with what is covered written down. Alongside your IT person or instead of a department.
- Support desk, updates and backups
- Monitoring and regular reporting
- A named lead who knows your systems
- What the agreement covers
- Priorities at each review

Typical work. Clear outcomes.
Illustrative scenarios that show how an engagement is shaped. They are examples, not completed client projects.
Office IT Setup
- Business challenge
- A growing business is opening an office in Freetown and needs internet, devices, accounts and security in place before staff arrive, with power and connectivity that can fail.
- Proposed solution
- A site assessment, a primary and a backup internet link with power protection, a segmented network, and devices and accounts set up with a security baseline.
- Delivery approach
- Plan remotely, coordinate checked local technicians for installation, test every link and device on site, then hand over documentation.
- Intended outcome
- Staff can work from the first day, outages fail over, and the business owns every account and diagram.
Cloud Migration Planning
- Business challenge
- A company running ageing servers wants to move to the cloud without a jump in cost or a weekend of downtime.
- Proposed solution
- An inventory of workloads, decisions on what moves and what retires, a secure target architecture and a cost estimate.
- Delivery approach
- Assess, design and plan a staged cutover with tested backups and a rollback step for every wave.
- Intended outcome
- A migration the business can approve, with costs and risks known before anything moves.
Cybersecurity Assessment
- Business challenge
- An organisation handling customer data has never had an independent security review and needs to know where it is exposed.
- Proposed solution
- A review of accounts, devices, email, backups and the network against a recognised framework.
- Delivery approach
- Interviews, configuration review and testing over an agreed period, then findings ranked by risk and cost and agreed with leadership.
- Intended outcome
- A short list of fixes in order of importance, and evidence for customer and insurer questionnaires.
Outsourced Software Development
- Business challenge
- A company has a clear need for a customer portal but no developers, and cannot wait for a full hiring cycle.
- Proposed solution
- A dedicated team of a product lead, developers and a tester, working to an agreed scope and reporting to the company.
- Delivery approach
- Requirements written as testable stories, delivery in short reviewed increments, and a release process set up from the start.
- Intended outcome
- A working portal owned by the company, with code, documentation and access in its name.
IT Contract Staffing
- Business challenge
- An IT team has a six-month programme of cloud work and is short of two experienced engineers.
- Proposed solution
- Two contract cloud engineers matched to the team’s platform and tools, working under its direction.
- Delivery approach
- Role profiles agreed, candidates screened with a practical test, a set first period with a review, and regular check-ins.
- Intended outcome
- The programme is staffed for its duration without permanent hires, with the option to convert a contractor later.
Enterprise Application Integration
- Business challenge
- Sales, finance and operations each keep their own system, and staff retype orders and invoices between them.
- Proposed solution
- Documented interfaces between the systems, so each record is entered once and flows to where it is needed.
- Delivery approach
- Map the data and the handoffs, build and test the integrations one flow at a time, and monitor them after go-live.
- Intended outcome
- Fewer errors, less retyping and one set of numbers that the departments agree on.
Managed Infrastructure Support
- Business challenge
- A company with one IT person has no cover for leave, no checked backups and no plan for ageing equipment.
- Proposed solution
- A managed IT agreement alongside the IT person: support desk, updates, backup checks, monitoring and a regular review.
- Delivery approach
- Inventory and document everything, roll out the tools in the background, then report and review on an agreed schedule.
- Intended outcome
- Cover when the IT person is away, backups that are known to work and a plan for what to replace next.
AI Workflow Automation
- Business challenge
- A team spends hours each week reading incoming documents, entering the details and chasing approvals by email.
- Proposed solution
- An automated workflow that extracts the details, routes approvals and records decisions, with a person checking the output.
- Delivery approach
- Measure the current process, pilot on one document type, compare the results and only then extend it.
- Intended outcome
- Time saved that has been measured, and a process with an audit trail instead of an inbox.
Database Migration
- Business challenge
- A business application runs on a database version that is out of support, and the vendor will no longer help.
- Proposed solution
- A move to a supported database platform, with the schema, data and connections migrated and checked.
- Delivery approach
- Rehearse the migration on a copy, compare record counts and results, then cut over in a planned window with a rollback ready.
- Intended outcome
- A supported, backed-up database and an application that behaves as it did before.
Technology Infrastructure Modernisation
- Business challenge
- An organisation’s servers, network and storage are near the end of support, and replacing everything at once is not affordable.
- Proposed solution
- A phased plan that replaces the highest-risk equipment first and moves suitable workloads to the cloud.
- Delivery approach
- Inventory and risk-rank the estate, agree an order and budget, then deliver in phases with testing and documentation.
- Intended outcome
- Risk reduced year by year, spending planned in advance and nothing left unsupported.
How every engagement is run.
- A delivery approach you can seeEvery engagement follows the same path: discover, assess, plan, deliver and hand over. You see the plan before work starts.
- Discovery and planning firstA written scope: what will be done, by whom, by when and at what cost, agreed before any work begins.
- Security and confidentialityWe work with the least access a task needs, never ask for passwords or keys by email, and remove our access when the work ends.
- Project governanceA named lead, an agreed way to approve changes, and decisions recorded, so scope only changes when you approve it.
- Communication and reportingCheck-ins at a frequency you choose, and short written reports on progress, risks and next steps.
- Handover and supportDocumentation, access and training for the people who will run what we built; support afterwards only if it is useful.
- Flexible engagementStart with an assessment, one specialist or a defined project, and change the arrangement as your needs change.
- Outcomes stated up frontEach engagement starts from what the business needs to achieve, and ends with a check against it.
