Third Stage Consulting Group is expanding its global footprint to include Africa with the opening of a local office and the growth of regional resources. Led by Clifford Martin, a digital transformation and technology implementation veteran with over 20 years of experience, this team specializes in supporting African business growth and overall technology advisory within this particular area.
“We’ve received an increased volume of inquiries from the Africa marketing and feel as though we needed a local team to effectively address the unique needs of this emerging market and best support our client community,” said Eric Kimberling, CEO of Third Stage Consulting Group and top industry advisor.
Third Stage is committed to providing independent and transparent partnerships to clients within the digital transformation / ERP ecosystem through technology-agnostic insight and innovative industry thought leadership. This commitment is amplified within emerging markets such as Africa, due to distinctive needs such as connectivity, software resource support, unique compliance needs, and more.
“As action-oriented business advocates, we are 100% software, hardware, and industry agnostic. The African market is in a very unique position, as typical project support assets can be absent. Our team of innovative and collaborative digital transformation thought leaders are committed to ensuring technology and software implementation success in Africa,” said Clifford Martin, Head of Third Stage Africa.
This objectivity and autonomy are further enhanced by deep regional insight. With an understanding of Africa’s diverse industries and regulatory landscapes, Third Stage provides solutions tailored to the realities of the region. Businesses across Africa deserve consulting partners who “tell it like it is,” without the influence of big software vendors. By combining global expertise with localized knowledge, Third Stage empowers organizations to achieve digital transformation success.
“As the digital economy evolves, Africa has the opportunity to become a global leader in innovation. Third Stage Consulting is excited to scale global technology success to a new profile of clients, ensuring that the African business community has the tools, strategies, and expertise to thrive in a rapidly changing world,” Martin added.
By challenging the status quo in the digital transformation industry, Third Stage continues to position itself as a disruptive force. Its commitment to transparency, independence, and client advocacy ensures that businesses across Africa—and beyond—can navigate transformation with confidence.
