Tano Digital Solutions, a Zimbabwean digital company, has received one of Africa’s biggest accolades, the Top Cloud Performance Award.
The information communication technology (ICT) company scooped the continental award at the SAP Africa Partner Summit held a fortnight ago in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Founded in 2013, Tano boasts of operations in seven African countries where it provides services in digital transformation, cybersecurity and enterprise infrastructure as well as software development and operations (DevOps).
Wallan Mangere, the Tano chief executive officer said the recognition was testament to the hard work, dedication, and innovation of his team, as well as the trust and collaboration shared with clients and partners.
“At Tano, we have always been committed to delivering cutting-edge cloud solutions that empower businesses to transform, scale, and thrive in an increasingly digital world,” Mangere said.
“This award reflects our unwavering focus on excellence and our ability to leverage SAP's powerful cloud technologies to drive meaningful outcomes for our customers.”
“As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and delivering even greater value to our clients.”
Tano is a value-added reseller and a certified services partner of SAP, the world’s largest provider of enterprise application software with over 230 million cloud users, more than 100 solutions covering all business functions and the largest cloud portfolio of any provider.

The company operates in six African countries - Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, Malawi and Kenya as well as the United Kingdom.
Mangere told Heart & Soul TV that the company employs over 150 workers in Zimbabwe.
The company's client base is diversified, encompassing the public sector, retail, mining, banking, utilities, agricultural, and wholesale distribution.
When Tano launched in Zimbabwe, it challenged the dominance of Twenty Third Century (TTC), which was the biggest IT service provider for government departments.
Tano became the sole SAP licensed provider after TTC’s licensing was suspended. The development led to a cold war between the two companies.
The SAP Africa Partner Awards 2025 also honoured Vodacom, a South African telecoms company, which was named in the Rising Star category which recognises the number and value of cloud books for a new partner onboarded in the past year.
Deloitte and Dimension Data were joint winners of the Innovation Award.
Deloitte, was also winner of the Go Lives category, which recognises the number of customer go-lives.
Epi-Use Africa won the Top Capacity Growth category and ITGest named winner of the NNN category which recognises the number of net-new sales and the value of net-new deals.
Meanwhile, Tano is set to become one of the biggest ICT companies in Africa after acquiring South Africa-headquartered Altron Botswana and Altron Mozambique in 2023 as part of its growth strategy.
The acquisition brought new product offerings in the form of various OEM partnerships like Oracle NCR, CISCO, XEROX.
