HCLSoftware to Launch ‘Agentic Services-as-Platform’ at GITEX Africa 2026

Introducing the XDO Blueprint and Agentic AI to drive sovereign resilience and outcome-focused transformation across Africa

MARRAKECH, Morocco (April 7, 2026) - HCLSoftware, the $1.4B enterprise software leader and a business division of HCLTech, today announced its prominent participation at GITEX Africa 2026. With Africa accelerating its modernization leap, HCLSoftware is introducing its XDO Blueprint and a transformative shift from traditional SaaS to Agentic Services-as-Platform (ASaP), designed to move enterprises from ‘friction to flow.’

As GITEX powers Africa’s digital future, the XDO Blueprint will help the continent embed intelligence and automation, transforming enterprises into resilient, outcome-driven organizations built to scale. HCLSoftware is leading the evolution to Agentic Services-as-Platform, bringing autonomous operations directly into the fabric of business to ensure African institutions can thrive in an increasingly complex global landscape.

Engineering Cyber-Resilient Architecture

“In Africa, cybersecurity has evolved beyond a standard IT line item to become the new currency of digital trust,” said Chancard Moise Kanga, Africa Territory Director at HCLSoftware. “Our alignment with the ‘Resilient Architecture’ theme is anchored in two critical pillars: Sovereign Collaboration, which ensures absolute data autonomy, and Enterprise Security, providing automated remediation from the application to the endpoint. By addressing the high-stakes requirements of Banking and Financial Services (BFSI), Government, Telecom, Healthcare, and Energy, we are engineering the systemic resilience necessary for African institutions to scale without compromise.”

Strategic Innovations for the African Enterprise:

• Agentic Services-as-Platform (ASaP): A major shift from people-intensive managed services to intelligent software. ASaP turns repeatable enterprise playbooks into codified AI agents, allowing IT leaders to move toward a purely.
• Outcome-Focused model tied to measurable business value.
• The XDO Blueprint: Unifying Experience (X), Data (D), and Operations (O), this framework utilizes ‘Agents of Action’ to orchestrate self-evolving systems that adapt in real-time to user intent.
• Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness: In a forward-looking challenge to the financial sector, HCLSoftware is presenting solutions to help institutions rebuild cryptographic foundations today to defend against future ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ quantum attacks.

As GITEX Africa 2026 defines the next chapter of the continent’s technological journey, HCLSoftware remains committed to powering the Digital+ Economy through non-negotiable resilience and autonomous innovation. By integrating market-leading solutions such as HCL Connections and HCL Domino for sovereign collaboration, alongside HCL AppScan and HCL BigFix for end-to-end security, HCLSoftware provides the essential foundation for a secure, agentic future.

HCLSoftware invites all attendees, partners, and media at Stand 3C-30, Hall 3, to experience the next frontier of enterprise intelligence.
