Dimension Data will retrench in the region of 480 employees following a major restructuring exercise announced in March that saw it pull the plug on two of its biggest brands, Internet Solutions and Britehouse.
“Dimension Data can confirm that it has started the process of consulting with stakeholders and employees with a view to implementing a new operating model aligned with announcements in March this year,” the group said in an e-mailed statement on Friday.
Through a section 189 process, we anticipate that approximately 480 employees may leave the business
As part of the restructuring, four brands — Dimension Data, Internet Solutions, Britehouse and ContinuitySA — will be brought together into a single operating entity, trading under the Dimension Data name.
“The main reason for this change is to provide a single portfolio of services to clients and improve client experience, as well as to streamline operations and ‘future-fit’ the Dimension Data business.
While reducing costs is not the primary objective of the One Dimension Data model, the effects of Covid-19 on the business have made further workforce changes necessary.”
