MTN announces new cloud platform for SMEs in Cameroon
Small
and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have been recognized as a key sector of local
economies, particularly in emerging markets, where formal SMEs contribute up to
*45% of total employment and up to *33% of GDP.
In
a bid to create greater efficiencies, as well as enable the growth of this
sector, MTN Business is driving the development of ICT solutions, specifically
for SMEs.
To this end, MTN Business has unveiled a new cloud delivery platform
in Rwanda and Cameroon, which will enable this segment of customers to access
cloud services with greater ease.
Dubbed
MTN Business Cloud Services platform, the web portal will also be available in
Swaziland, Ghana and Uganda by the end of April 2016, and will provide a comprehensive
view of the product portfolio available for business customers from MTN, as
well as its partners.
“This
platform was developed to address some of the pain points experienced by our
SME customers, in particular. As MTN Business, we are acutely aware that to
enable the growth of this key sector, ease of access to solutions that drive
efficiencies and lower costs, such as Cloud, is vital. While the benefits of
Cloud services for SMEs are numerous, the process of accessing and purchasing
such services can be daunting.
Through the MTN Business Cloud Services
platform, the emphasis is on simplifying this process and meeting customers’
needs – essentially we are putting control in our customers’ hands,” says
Debbie Minnaar, Acting Executive, MTN Group Enterprise Business Unit.
Through
the MTN Business Cloud Services platform, customers can use single login
credentials for all services and make use of “Live Help” to resolve any issues
immediately and in local languages of the market from which the customer is
accessing the platform. In addition, customers will be able to pay for products
and services they require in their local currency, using different payment
methods, including MTN Mobile Money.
The
roll out of the platform, which is set to go live in all MTN markets by the end
of 2016, is aligned to the company’s strategy for the SME segment.
“We
recognise fully, the value of SMEs in our markets and we are committed to
aiding their growth and development. Within the scope of MTN Business, we have
a significant opportunity to become an effective strategic partner of SMEs and
to contribute to this key sector of the economy by providing relevant and cost
effective ICT solutions tailored for this segment, such as the MTN Business
Cloud Services platform,” says Omotayo Ojutalayo, General Manager for SMEs, MTN
Group Enterprise Business Unit.
MTN
continues to evaluate new cloud-based solutions for enablement and growth of
SMEs.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
