Roke Telkom Launches Comprehensive Managed Services to Power Uganda’s Digital Economy

Roke Telkom, a home-grown telecommunications and cloud solutions provider, announced the launch of its new, comprehensive suite of Roke Managed Services. Think of this as Roke Telkom taking over your complicated tech problems. This new service is all about helping businesses, from big companies to fast-growing smaller ones, use technology better, cut down on frustrating system failures, and focus completely on their core business.

In today’s world, every Ugandan business relies on computers and the internet. But many struggle with a few things, like a lack of skilled tech staff, unreliable internet, or their costs are too high. Roke Managed Services solves these issues by managing your crucial IT and network tasks. This development means better workflow, higher output, and access to IT experts.

Roke’s new portfolio of Managed Services provides comprehensive support, anchored by five core solutions plus Disaster Recovery as a Service. These essential offerings are designed to cover every aspect of a business’s digital infrastructure.

The core solutions include Managed Networks, where Roke Telkom handles the entire LAN setup and support, encompassing Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, cabling, switching, and routing to ensure consistently reliable connectivity. For robust protection, Managed Security delivers 24/7 threat checks, rapid response, and industry-leading tools to pre-empt hacks, ransomware, and data loss.

Seamless communication is assured through Managed Telephony, covering the installation, setup, and maintenance of both cloud-based and on-premises PBX systems for smooth, high-quality voice services. Finally, Managed Infrastructure puts server management in the hands of professionals, handling setup, support, and maintenance whether the servers are on-site, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both. Crucially, the addition of Disaster Recovery as a Service ensures business continuity by backing up data in real time and enabling fast recovery after any system failure or attack.

These services are characterised by key features such as a 99.8% uptime guarantee under the Service Level Agreement, 24/7 support with continuous monitoring and proactive maintenance, and Robust Security using firewalls, encryption, and access controls. The services also offer cloud-based management, network optimisation, and scalability to easily support growing users and devices.

Peter Muhumuza, CTO of Roke Telkom, emphasised the transformative nature of the launch, “Roke Managed Services is a game-changer for Ugandan businesses. We’re moving beyond simply providing connectivity and becoming a true technology partner. By leveraging our infrastructure and expertise, enterprises and SMEs can offload the complexities of IT management and gain a competitive edge. This launch is a significant step in fuelling the nation’s digital growth, ensuring that system downtime and technical roadblocks no longer stand in the way of innovation and success.”

Roke Telkom is already supporting key sectors like financial services, education, and manufacturing. This new service makes it easier than ever for organisations to manage their digital lives and focus on what they do best.
