MTN Nigeria has restated its dedication to reshaping the conventional business terrain and propelling its transition from a telecommunications company to a technology-driven entity.
In a recent development, MTN Nigeria has partnered with Zoom and SpeechLogix to introduce Meetings+, an inventive video conferencing platform tailored to empower SMEs to seamlessly conduct uninterrupted virtual meetings and other interactions.
Meetings+ offers cost-effective daily, weekly, and monthly subscription plans bundled with mobile data. This user-friendly, dependable, and innovative unified communications platform seamlessly integrates video, voice, and chat features across various devices, including desktops, phones, and conference room systems, leveraging Zoom’s technology and MTN’s robust network.
Charles Okonkwo, General Manager of MTN Business, emphasized at the launch event in Lagos on Thursday that Meetings+ signifies a gateway to a more interconnected and prosperous future for Nigerian businesses.
Regarding the collaboration, Okonkwo highlighted that the partnership with SpeechLogix and Zoom stemmed from a shared commitment to addressing the challenge of US dollar payment constraints and providing flexible packages for short and ad-hoc engagements. He asserted, “Now, users can easily and 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!”
Haitham El-Hanafi, Head of Global Sales at SpeechLogix, commented on the solution, stating, “Speech Logix and Zoom teamed up to bring a platform designed to help operators boost their revenue. The Zoom video technology and the SpeechLogix innovative modules combine a truly all-in-one platform, deployed in less than 60 days.”
With Meetings+, users can make payments in Naira through MoMo or via the MyMTN NG app, enjoying benefits beyond attending meetings to optimizing workforce productivity, fostering team connections, and achieving more. This robust combination empowers businesses to unlock efficiencies, automate processes, and optimize operations, driving innovation and productivity to unprecedented levels.
This strategic partnership with SpeechLogix and Zoom underscores MTN’s commitment to reshaping the conventional business landscape and advancing its transition from a telecommunications company to a technology-driven enterprise. It aligns with MTN’s ambition to lead in the digital transformation of businesses, particularly SMEs.
