Founded by Alison Vorster and Vanessa Schonborn, CBS brings over 70 years of collective industry experience, helping ICT providers and enterprise clients unlock value through technology-led execution and go-to-market alignment. 

“Having worked closely with Alison before, I’ve seen first-hand how she and her team turn opportunity into impact,” said André Strauss, CEO of CohesionX. “Together, we’re focused on helping organisations use AI where it matters most: improving decisions, speeding up execution, and creating measurable business results.” 

Through this partnership, CBS joins the CohesionX ecosystem as a reseller and strategic ally, guiding go-to-market initiatives. This collaboration promises to align technology portfolios with evolving customer needs and co-delivering measurable business value. The alliance expands CohesionX’s reach into sectors such as mining, manufacturing, retail, and legal — industries where intelligent automation and insight-driven execution can deliver real operational transformation. 

CohesionX continues to build in South Africa, for South Africa (and beyond): its platforms are designed to respect data privacy, governance frameworks, and operational realities while delivering modular intelligence that blends seamlessly into existing systems. 

This collaboration reflects a shared conviction that sustainable AI adoption is not about dazzling demos but about embedding value, building trust, and driving growth. Together, CBS and CohesionX will help organisations connect, enable, and grow responsibly and at scale.
