Bold IT Innovation

Bold Thumb Technologies is an information technology (IT) innovation company that transforms and improves business processes by means of implementing unique, practical, and dynamic software solutions. We have a bold mind of seeing technology as an enabler to the business, thus making sure that our solutions complement the business’ resources and processes from A to Z.

The name: Bold Thumb

Bold Thumb was established in January 2018, founded by Moeketsi Msimango, a passionate software developer, and legally registered as CtrlB (Pty) Ltd. The name is directly derived from the metaphor of “sticking out like a sore thumb”. With a twist of using the word BOLD (Ctrl+B), we remove the possibility of imagining pain when saying our name, but rather, imagine a really outstanding collection of letters put together to communicate a positive and effective outcome. Welcome to the world of innovation.
