Spinnaker Support, a leading global provider of third-party enterprise software support, has officially entered the South African market with the launch of its Johannesburg-based operation under the leadership of Managing Director Takeo Mozaki.
The expansion is being driven in partnership with Ascent Africa, an integrated marketing and communications agency that supports Spinnaker Support’s go-to-market approach in the region. Together, they are presenting a bold new story for enterprise IT through the campaign: “Your IT Roadmap. Your Control.”
“Your IT Roadmap. Your Control. Take back control of your enterprise technology.”
At its core, the campaign speaks directly to the growing reality within South African organisations: enterprise technology decisions can no longer be determined solely by vendor timelines. They should be shaped by business priorities, operational realities and long-term strategic intent.
Who is Spinnaker Support?
Founded in 2008, Spinnaker Support has become a trusted global partner, supporting more than 1,300 organizations in over 100 countries. The company provides third-party support, managed services, and consulting on major enterprise platforms including SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce.
Its approach enables organizations to reduce operating costs, extend the lifetime of critical systems, and operate independently of vendor-imposed upgrade cycles. Doing so allows businesses to invest in innovation and change on their own terms, not according to external pressures.
This model challenges the traditional support paradigm by offering a more responsive, accountable and business-aligned alternative, which is increasingly resonating with South African CIOs and executives.
Entering a strategic market served by Ascent Africa
Spinnaker Support’s entry into South Africa is not a traditional expansion. This is a thoughtful, insight-based market introduction prepared in collaboration with Ascent Africa.
Ascent Africa is an integrated marketing and communications agency that helps organizations across diverse industries define their voice, sharpen their market positioning, and create narratives that resonate with purpose and lasting impact in a constantly evolving business landscape.
Via “Your IT Roadmap. Your Control”. Campaign, Ascent Africa and Spinnaker Support are reframing the enterprise IT conversation in South Africa, moving it away from passive vendor dependency and towards active business ownership.
It's not just about entering a new market. It's about changing mindset.
Strong local and global support
Spinnaker Support's South African operations are supported by African Rainbow Capital (ARC), an investment holding company founded by Dr Patrice Motsepe.
ARC's support brings both financial strength and a deep understanding of the local market, strengthening Spinnaker Support's long-term commitment to South Africa. It also signals strong institutional confidence in a model that prioritizes control, efficiency and sustainable value creation.
Experience based leadership
At the helm of the South African business is Takeo Mozaki, an experienced technology executive with expertise in enterprise systems and digital transformation.
Formerly a partner at PwC South Africa, where he led the SAP practice, Mozaki has built a reputation for translating complex IT environments into clear, actionable strategies that deliver measurable business value.
His leadership reflects the essence of the campaign: helping organizations move from reactive decision making to deliberate, controlled and strategically aligned technology management.
Shaping a new enterprise IT narrative in South Africa
Via “Your IT Roadmap. Your Control”. Expeditions, Spinnaker Support and Ascent Africa are redefining how organizations approach enterprise IT.
