Original concepts

At Advantech, we take pride in our experience as having been able to develop original concepts and solutions to solve unique problems for the private and public sector.

Our process to execute successful concept development involves an intricate development process that follows the basic principles of research and development to offer irreplaceable solutions to organizations presenting a vast array of needs.

This stems from analysing and studying organizational or business domains, processes or systems, assessing their business models, identifying the need for change, initiating and actualizing the change so as to maximize value to the stakeholders by integrating them with technology.

Research and development

Advantech invest in research ad development on topical issues in areas such as cross border trade facilitation, health systems strengthening, health facilities assessments, best practice e-learning for marginalized communities among others.

Through our research and development, we are able to build and expand our knowledge in fields where we have experience as well as discovering unchartered territories. This offers us insights into new domains and platforms to engage development partners and peers as well as collaborate in fashioning and developing unprecedented solutions to conventional processes as well as optimizing business and programmatic processes.
