Grad to Great
Every year a cohort of promising university graduates from disadvantaged communities across South Africa joins STS for professional training, mentorship and real work experience, inside a structured support network.
A group built on purpose, performance and people. Founded in South Africa in 2006 as a software testing company, STS Holdings now brings together five businesses and its own products, serving clients across Africa, the Middle East and the UK.
STS Holdings evolved from enterprise software quality engineering into specialist businesses and proprietary technology.
STS began in 2006 as Software Testing Solutions, a software quality assurance company in South Africa. Banks, insurers, telcos and public institutions trusted it with their most important releases.
The group grew around that core: our own platforms from 2011, then software engineering, financial technology, talent and new ventures, with teams in Johannesburg, Dubai and London. Through it all we have stayed focused on what matters most: trusted relationships, quality, and technology that helps organisations achieve more.
Software Testing Solutions is established and begins testing and quality assurance for South Africa's banks.
STS starts building its own software platforms alongside its client work.
Teams in Dubai and the UK serve clients across the Middle East and Europe, and the group celebrates sixteen years.
Software engineering, quality engineering, financial technology, talent and new ventures, with TechnoCenter, DigiWise Wallet, ConstructUI and Qudos.
