"I hired Sherpa to provide leadership to the data and analytics stream of our business transformation program focusing on SAP analytics tools. The guidance and expertise that Sherpa brought to our leadership team has transformed not just the data stream but influenced the rest of the programme as well. The net result is that I am far more comfortable around achieving the goals we have set for the business."
"The assistance of the Ai2 Advisory team [now Sherpa] has enabled us to sign-off on the effectiveness of Omnia's internal control environment as required by the JSE. Omnia also intends to continue with services from Sherpa, due to their proven track record with us."
