At Eko Hotels & Suites in Lagos on July 22, Nigeria’s leading technology professionals convened for ManageEngine ITCON 2025 Nigeria, a flagship forum exploring how enterprise IT strategy is becoming the backbone of modern business transformation.
Organized by ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, in collaboration with its Nigerian partner Tranter IT, the event drew senior executives, IT specialists, and decision-makers for a full day of high-level dialogues, practical workshops, and cross-industry networking.
“ITCON is more than a tech showcase — it’s a bridge between global innovation and Nigeria’s business needs,” noted Lare Ayoola, CEO of Tranter IT and President of the Information Technology Association of Nigeria (ITAN). “Through this partnership, we’re equipping industries to convert IT potential into measurable business value.”
Global Innovation, Local Execution
Now in its sixth year worldwide, ITCON has steadily grown into one of Africa’s most influential enterprise IT platforms. In Nigeria, its reputation has been reinforced by Tranter IT’s leadership in implementation, support, and advisory services, ensuring global technologies are effectively adapted to local realities.
This year’s conference featured deep-dive sessions led by experts from ManageEngine’s teams in Ivory Coast and India, who unpacked trends in:
-
Automation & AIOps – advancing intelligent, self-learning IT systems
-
Cybersecurity & Cloud Infrastructure – safeguarding digital enterprises
-
Employee Experience – creating seamless, productivity-driven IT environments
From Reactive to Proactive IT
Speakers such as Johnson Joshua, Ronald Olivera, Allan Joshua, Manish Mandal, and Srini Rajarsekar outlined strategies for moving beyond traditional reactive IT support toward proactive, automated service delivery models. With hybrid work and agility now defining the workplace, the emphasis was on building IT ecosystems that anticipate challenges instead of simply responding to them.
Expanding the Vision: ITGOV
The event also spotlighted Tranter IT’s sister initiative, ITGOV, launched as an annual May conference dedicated to public sector IT governance and automation. This expansion underscores the company’s mission to accelerate technology-driven governance and smarter public systems in Nigeria.
By bringing together global expertise and local execution, ITCON 2025 has positioned itself as a catalyst for enterprise innovation, charting the next phase of Nigeria’s digital transformation.
