Reproduced below in its entirety is the interview of Shishir Saraf, CEO, Dhanush Infotech East Africa, by CIO East Africa, leading magazine for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry in East Africa.
After having a chat with the Dhanush Infotech East Africa CEO Shishir Saraf, four words stick out from the conversation as I dig deeper into what plans the company has the region: Cost, Innovation, Efficiency and Services.
To understand Dhanush Infotech's strategy, one needs to take a closer look at the company's past as well as its recent product releases into the market.
Previously, Dhanush Infotech was mainly known for the IFMIS project by the government that was meant to bring efficiency in financial management at ministry level with the company charged with training more than 3,000 government employees across the country. From here, Dhanush has grown to become a credible company especially in training as well as in technology implementation and support.
Before laying out the business plan, the firm took its time to study the market and recognised gaps in the local market that would require capacity building. With this information, the company was able to roll out its partners solutions in a way that would also allow the solutions provider to customise the products. One plan of achieving trust was to help clients to recognise their requirements so as to make informed decisions in the areas of establishing the right solutions and the best partner to deliver the solution.
Dhanush also decentralised into the region with business units functioning independently so as to allow them achieve organisational objectives with maximum localisation. Unit executives were given leeway in making decisions regarding capacity needs and solution offering.
"We are in the business of selling solutions by gaining customer confidence. We prefer to spend money in gaining the same through complimentary services like market research, preparation of business cases as well as advising clients about the pros and cons," said Saraf.
Dhanush's partners include Oracle and Microsoft for enterprise solutions. It also provides business intelligence tools, business analytics and reporting tools while mobile phone-based solutions are under development. Among the latest products that have hit the market from Dhanush Infotech is Dactari Health, a telemedicine solution that provides remote monitoring, combines flow of information through video, clinical data and work flow information. Dactari Health, developed as a response to the scarcity of specialized doctors and data in healthcare centres, works alongside other solutions including hospital management, electronic health record management and ambulance management.

DHANUSH INFO TECH BOOSTS TELE-MEDICINE VIA DACTARI HEALTH
By Sakina Taki
Dhanush Infotech opened its new offices and training centres' at Rahimtullah Towers on February 14. Being one of the global leaders in terms of IT service, Dhanush Infotech aims to provide medical services to people in remote areas by using Tele-health. Dactari Health is a software focussed on health and it has been specialized for the African market explained Dr. Emily Obwaka, a public health specialist currently working with Dactari Health.
After setting up in countries like India and Australia, Kenya was targeted for establishment as it is seen as "head of directing Africa in the right direction," said the MD and CEO of Dhanush Infotech DSN Murthy. Although costs of the infrastructure can be estimated to about 200 million, friends of the state house digital team will provide servers that will ensure free wi-fi. "No tax-payers money is spent in establishing the wi-fi," ensured Dennis Itumbi, the Director of Digital Strategy Innovation and Diaspora Relations.
Since the country lacks a comprehensive medical database for individuals as suggested by Itumbi, Dactari Health steps in to store electronic medical records for patients at any particular time assisting with an accurate diagnosis anywhere in the country. Such innovative ideas are welcome by the State House as the President will be hosting the Africa Innovative Summit soon, with the launch scheduled in the next three weeks.
IT Systems integrator Dhanush Infotech has launched its vocational training center to help develop skills as the firm. Dhanush InfoTech which has trained about 200 staff so far says there is a need to train more people in the region to automate services and processes in the market place.
The vocational center will provide training in various courses in various segments including ICT, health, infrastructure, mining among others.
"The Kenyan market has a fairly skilled workforce who with a little grooming can be a wonderful skill set. With more individuals having the right skills we can move from providing Africa with the best services to targeting the global market. Creating skills creates sustainability in the market" said Deundukuri Suryanarayana Murthy of Dhanush InfoTech.
The company that was involved in the implementation of the IFMIS project in partnership with Treasury also adds that it has launched its e-health product Dactari Health that allows diagnosis and prescriptions through mobile phones.
The Telemedicine product will help many Kenyans especially in the rural setting have access to a doctor online from where bringing medical services closer to the people.
According to director of digital media and Diaspora communications at State house Dennis Itumbi the innovation will help fill the gap before the government puts up physical structures to in various areas.
"The country lacks a comprehensive medical database and such a product will help bring together medical data allowing patients to access better services as medical records will now be on the cloud," he said.
He adds that ongoing infrastructure expansion in the country in collaboration with various counties will help scale up the uptake of various innovations in the ICT space in Kenya
Dactari Health, a group company of Dhanush InfoTech, features in an exclusive story of The Standard, the largest Kenyan newspaper, in its edition of 12th February 2014.
The post describes Kenyan government's plans to digitise health care to make it more accessible to people from rural and remote regions and how Dactari Healths' Afya Telemedicine would be instrumental in its nation-wide implementation.
Dr Emily Obwaka, Chief Strategy Officer at Dactari Health and also a Public Health specialist, is quoted at length. She explains the benefits it would bestow on people, the business model and future plans.
