As part of measures to help transform the efficiency of companies operating in Ghana, telecommunication giant, Vodafone Ghana has launched its “Machine to Machine” (M2M) service platform.
The service is also expected to enable Vodafone leverage its global scale and expertise in the technology to make Ghana’s fast growing services sector more efficient.
In addition to the role M2M can play in enabling smarter services, Vodafone believes the technology, which is managed by its enterprise unit, can also help large businesses reduce their operations’ impact on the environment.
Speaking at the launch, Chief Executive of Vodafone Ghana Haris Broumidis, stated that the move formed part of Vodafone Ghana’s commitment to meet the needs of the customers,
“Our reputation in this new technological frontier is unmatched across the world and we are excited to be finally deploying it in Ghana. Vodafone views Ghana as a very important market for our continuous success as a company and M2M is one avenue to continue our success story. The world of work as we know it in Ghana will never be the same again.”
Head of Vodafone Business Solutions, the enterprise unit of Vodafone Ghana Angela Mensah-Poku, also observed,
“This is definitely the start of a revolution that would certainly help companies in the country move to the next level of performance and make them more results-oriented. As a business committed to providing the best of service for our customers, we see M2M as a paradigm shift in making our customers even more comfortable with their activities.”
The platform, already operational in Ghana, will be supported by an expert team with country-wide responsibility for growing Vodafone’s M2M business. The team, which includes engineers, product and sales managers, is to ensure that customer needs are met in a timely fashion.
Vodafone’s capabilities in M2M in Ghana cover some of the most crucial areas of the economy including health, transport, logistics, banking, utilities and security.
Globally, Vodafone is ranked the best in M2M with about 21.5 million SIMs currently connecting assets in various industries in the world.
