Benchmark International

Benchmark International is delighted to share the testimonial of our recently acquired client, Parity Software.  

The sale of any business is a complex and nuanced journey and Ken Fargher understood the need for a team he could trust to get the job done and the deal right.

In this testimonial, Ken shares his journey through the Benchmark process and his thoughts on why he would recommend Benchmark’s services to any business owner looking to exit or bring on a partner for growth. 

Founded in 1982 by Ken Fargher, Parity Software is a leading South African ERP consultancy renowned for its expertise in Microsoft products and services. Parity has consistently demonstrated its expertise, earning the coveted Microsoft Dynamics ERP Partner of the Year award in 2021, and is one of the leading Microsoft Dynamics System Integrators in Africa.
