Description

Softline co-founder and former CEO Ivan Epstein is TechCentral’s guest in the latest episode of TCS Legends.

Epstein, who co-founded Softline in 1988 with Alan Osrin, chats to host Duarte da Silva – who also happens to have been the first guest on TCS Legends – about the early days of Softline, its listing on the JSE and its eventual sale to Sage.

It was a heady time in South Africa’s nascent IT sector, and Epstein relates interesting titbits from that time, including what was involved in the JSE listing and the eventual sale to Sage.

It’s a fascinating story, not only about a successful South African business, but also the people behind it.
