MTN Nigeria Set To Operate As TechCo

MTN Nigeria has reiterated its commitment to redefining the traditional business landscape and advancing its journey from a Telco to a TechCo.

This is even as the company has collaborated with Zoom and SpeechLogix to unveiled Meetings+, an innovative video conferencing platform, that enables SMEs to efficiently conduct uninterrupted virtual meetings and other engagements.

The platform also offers affordable daily, weekly and monthly subscription plans bundled with mobile data. A user-friendly, reliable, and innovative unified communications platform, Meetings+ seamlessly integrates video, voice, and chat features across all devices, from desktops and phones to conference room systems, leveraging Zoom’s technology and MTN’s robust network.

The general manager, MTN Business, Charles Okonkwo, at the unveiling of Meetings+, on Thursday, in Lagos, stated that Meetings+ is a gateway to a more connected and prosperous future for Nigerian businesses.

On the partnership, Okonkwo averred that the partnership with SpeechLogix and Zoom emerged from a shared commitment to tackle the challenge of US$ payment constraints and offer flexible packages for short and ad-hoc engagements.

“Now, users can easily and more conveniently pay for online engagements or meetings in Naira, subscribing to short sessions, with a bundled data allowance for meetings. This is a revolutionary way to conduct business and drive efficiency, increase accessibility, and foster progress and we are here to enable businesses to adapt seamlessly to the future!,” he posited.

Head of global sales, SpeechLogix, Haitham El-Hanafi, while commenting on the solution, said, “Speech Logix and Zoom teamed up to bring a platform that is designed to help operators boost their revenue, the Zoom video technology & the SpeechLogix innovative modules combine a truly all-in-one platform, that is deployed in less than 60-days”.

With Meetings+, users can pay in Naira through MoMo or via the MyMTN NG app and gain benefits that go beyond just attending meetings to enjoying optimised workforce productivity, increased team connections and achieving more. This powerful combination enables businesses to unlock efficiencies, automate processes, and optimise operations, driving innovation and productivity to new heights.

This strategic alliance with SpeechLogix and Zoom underscores MTN’s commitment to redefining the traditional business landscape and advancing its journey from a Telco to a TechCo and aligns with MTN’s ambition to lead in the digital transformation of businesses, particularly SMEs.
