Corporate social responsibility
PBT Group is a responsible corporate citizen, and the brand is continuously involved in various CSI initiatives. CSI beneficiaries during the 2020 financial year included The Web Foundation (a PBO focusing on the establishment of libraries in rural schools), Edunova (a NPC working in the education sector with a focus on the effective use of ICT in schools) and Siloam Ministries (an Atlantis-based denomination, providing weekly feeding programmes to the local community).
The Hillsong Africa Foundation Innovation Hub continues to be PBT Group’s main CSI beneficiary. During 2019, a group of 18 young people commenced training through the Innovation Hub that will see them acquire skills which will equip them to work in the digital economy. The first HAF Innovation Hub is situated strategically in the heart of Philippi and is on the forefront of combatting unemployment and poverty. At the beginning of 2020, a further 28 students joined the programme. Amongst others, training programmes include graphic design, web development and coding.
Training and skills development
PBT Group’s consultants have been exposed to various technologies and industries and their wealth of experience has ensured the success of every client engagement. PBT Group is also committed to growing the available skills base and enhancing the quality of skills in the marketplace. This is being addressed through a specialised internship programme, which has allowed entry into a very competitive market for more than 172 BEE candidates to date. This programme was established in 2004 and is repeated annually.
Further to our internal internship programme where the focus is on information management, PBT Group partnered with an accredited training provider during 2018, in order to support a recognised learnership for BEE candidates with disabilities. To date, 11 learners have obtained NQF-aligned qualifications through this initiative, with a further 11 due to qualify by July 2020.

Past and present
PBT Group was founded as Prescient Business Technologies in 1998, starting out as an information technology company. In 2000, PBT was established as a specialised BI company with data transformation as a focus area, providing integrated business intelligence solutions to a wide range of industries, including finance, insurance, telecommunications, retail, petroleum and medical healthcare.
Following developments in the company structure, and with the acquisition of a SAS entity and PBTit, Prescient Business Technologies was renamed to PBT Group. In 2004, PBT Group extended its Cape Town and Johannesburg presence in South Africa to Melbourne, Australia, officially establishing a Melbourne-based offering in 2008.
The group’s ongoing growth strategy lead to the acquirement of three specialist technology-focused companies – BI-Blue Consulting, CyberPro Consulting and TBIS. It is part of PBT Group’s continuously evolving approach to meeting the changing needs of clients within the sphere of technological advancement.
With a global client base that includes prominent companies in major industry sectors, PBT Group is proudly listed on the JSE.
