SA technological skills are driving BMW manufacturing and sales operations in 48 countries, including China, the US and UK, group IT executive Klaus Straub said on Tuesday.
Straub was speaking in Midrand, at the opening of a R260m extension to BMW SA corporate headquarters, to house 500 IT staff and a dealer training centre. BMW SA MD Tim Abbott said the continued spending underlines the company’s commitment to SA. The terms of the government’s latest motor industry growth strategy, to take effect in 2021, have convinced the parent company that SA is a secure manufacturing base.
Straub said SA technicians have developed class-leading IT programs in several activities, including manufacturing, financial services, procurement, human resources and sales. In some countries where the global group does not build vehicles, BMW SA is responsible for managing nearly all IT functions.

Announcements like these regularly punctuate the news; it’s all part of SA’s grand Automotive Production and Development Programme, arguably the crown of SA’s interventionist industrial effort. But if this policy is working so well — and it does seem it is — why is it not being applied to other sectors?
