Now in its 12th year, the Cape Epic is an eight day mountain biking event that took place from the 15 to 22 March 2015. A monster of an event, the Epic sees both local and international mountain biking enthusiasts heading to Cape Town to take on the massive adventure and challenge, riding from University of Cape Town to Meerendal Wine Estate in Durbanville, in what is now considered the most prestigious mountain biking event in the world.
What does the future hold? When thinking about the future of the digital economy or digital marketplace, brands and investors need to consider consumers’ growing and changing online purchasing trends, as this is where the greatest business opportunities will lie.

What is ScaleConf?
Now in its fourth year, ScaleConf is a three day annual conference centred on the Internet and the need to build websites to sustain the rigors of today’s traffic and usage. With WiFi sponsored by RSAWEB, this year’s ScaleConf took place at Kirstenbosch Gardens from 4th – 6th March and included a host of local and international speakers such as Franz Struwig from Garmin, Willem Van Biljon from Takealot and Charity Majors from Parse / Facebook, to name but a few.
That magic space called ‘the Cloud’
The ‘Cloud’ is such a massive word/concept that, until recently, in my mind, it could only exist in an unreachable place, far up in the heavens, and more and more I have found myself wondering, “what exactly is the Cloud?” and what does it really mean for businesses?
The Inner City Ideas Cartel is situated in the centre of the Cape Town CBD at 71 De Waterkant Street above the bustling Hemelhuijs restaurant. The building exudes an energy that makes you feel as though there are boundless possibilities afoot and stepping off the street and into the high volume, glass, concrete and steel interior, I feel an almost tangible tense sense of excitement.
Much has been said about the vast potential of RSAWEB Flex Cloud as a product, but in this article I would like to focus on how this offering or ‘Platform As A Service’ (PAAS) can be applied in the real world of development.
