Nick van der Walt, business developer director at Swicon360

Q: What do you see as being the next big thing in IT?

A: Software-as-a-service or cloud computing is the next big thing in IT, with organisations now being able to use software on an on-demand basis. This without having to worry about the capital outlay for infrastructure, software implementation, maintenance or upfront licence fees.

Q: What do you love the most about your job?

A: Interacting with different people every day and trying to achieve the best possible deal for both the company and the client. I get satisfaction from setting medium-term goals, fully committing to the task at hand, and achieving these goals.
