CEO Letter - May 2025

The cloud landscape is no longer a one-size-fits-all model. Organisations today are wasting valuable capacity navigating multiple vendors, tools, and platforms, each with its own console, processes, and billing cycles. This makes it increasingly harder to manage and monitor. This is where Deimos comes in.

As our CEO, Andrew Mori, is on paternity leave after welcoming a beautiful baby girl with his wife, this month’s update will be coming from me, David Anderson, Andrew’s co-founder and Deimos’ Head of Partnerships. 

Firstly, we’re all thrilled for Andrew and his family, and while he enjoys some well-deserved time with his new little one, the Deimos team is fully committed to continuing to support you.

Then, in Andrew’s absence and in my capacity as Head of Partnerships at Deimos, I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts on what partnership looks like at Deimos in this month’s newsletter.

In my role, I’m fortunate enough to engage with partners, clients, and prospects across the continent, and one theme continues to surface:


“We want more control, clarity, and support in our cloud environment, but without the hassle. Oh, and can you please help reduce my cloud bill?!”

As businesses adopt multicloud strategies and 3rd party tooling for security and observability across cloud platforms - Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, Huawei, Cloudflare, Datadog, and more - it’s clear that the old ways of purchasing cloud services are getting increasingly frustrating. Complex billing, procurement delays, limited support, and perverse vendor incentives that encourage your account managers to make your spend increase every month are common frustrations that many organisations are facing today.

The cloud landscape is no longer a one-size-fits-all model. Organisations today are wasting valuable capacity navigating multiple vendors, tools, and platforms, each with its own console, processes, and billing cycles. This makes it increasingly harder to manage and monitor. 

This is where Deimos comes in.

At Deimos, we streamline this process by bringing it all under one roof. We consolidate how you get bills, advice, and support for your cloud services into a more efficient, transparent, and consistent experience.

Very importantly, partnership for Deimos does not mean just sending you bills. Partnership means delivering actual value and success. Here's what partnering with us looks like:

  • Local currency billing across Africa and across platforms - in Naira, KES, ZAR, USD, or even crypto.
  • Flexible payment terms - with 25-day windows and discounted rates for growing businesses.
  • Free quarterly cost assessments by certified engineers.
  • Free annual cloud security & infrastructure reviews for qualifying customers by certified engineers to ensure your systems are secure and optimised.
  • Local, SLA-backed support, ensuring you don’t face the challenges of timezone delays and impersonal service.
  • Bulk savings on your technology spend, as the more technologies you partner with Deimos on, the greater the discount you’ll get.

So what sets us apart is that we go beyond simply reselling. We offer real engineering expertise to make sure your cloud environment is optimised, secure, and aligned with your business goals. From DevSecOps and CI/CD to cloud migrations, cloud modernisations, and multi-cloud security, we ensure your tech stack is working harder - and smarter.

What can you buy through Deimos?

We enable businesses to access a wide range of cloud native services, including:

Not happy with your current reseller?

Switching is often easier than most people think. We handle the full transition, including onboarding, billing migration, and infrastructure continuity. With Deimos, you gain:

  • Better pricing and financial flexibility
  • Expert support across your entire cloud ecosystem
  • Greater visibility across multiple vendors and tools
  • A single trusted point of contact for all your cloud needs

All of this adds up to a better cloud experience on your terms.

At Deimos, we believe that Africa deserves cloud done right. That means simplified billing, smarter tooling, and stronger partnerships that actually help you succeed.

If you’re ready to rethink how your business buys and manages cloud services, let’s have a conversation.

Warm regards,

David Anderson | Head of Partnerships
