Hosting in South Africa supports data residency and simplifies POPIA's cross-border rules. AINEXIM can host client platforms in the AWS Africa (Cape Town) region, af-south-1, and the location is agreed before the build.
Data residency in South AfricaGCIS recommends that departments conform to at least Level A of WCAG 2.2. We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which goes beyond that minimum, and accessibility is part of the definition of done for every feature.
WCAG for government websitesYour content, documents, data and configuration belong to you and can be exported in open formats at any time. AINEXIM builds on open-source foundations, so no third-party product licence is resold in the price.
The exit plan agreed at the start applies: documentation, runbooks, infrastructure code and data handed over in open formats, so another team can take over without starting again.
