MAINONE
and Microsoft have launched a new product targeted at enabling small and medium
businesses in Nigeria.
This new solution, SME-in-a-Box Pro offers SMEs business
productivity tools from Microsoft such as Office 365 and Exchange Online, along
with reliable broadband communications from MainOne.
According to MainOne, the offering will enable SMEs to
stay productive and connected anywhere, anytime, from any device and on any
operating system saying, the connectivity solution allows SMEs to take
advantage of MainOne’s fast and reliable SME-IN-A-BOX broadband service or
other Internet Service provider connections to drive their business growth and
efficiency.
In recognition of the fact that most Nigerian SMEs are
yet to get an online presence, the companies introduced Gigalayer as their
partner to provide domain name registration services for Nigerian websites,
which will empower SMEs to build a branded website and gain access to new
markets.
Speaking during the media launch of the product,
Director- Small, Midmarket Solutions & Partners Group, Microsoft Nigeria,
Oluwawemimo Adeniyi highlighted the great impact of the new offering on SMEs in
terms of efficiency, cost savings and flexibility.
According to her, Microsoft’s mission is to empower
every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more saying, “For
SMEs, this means ensuring that business owners and employees have access to the
technologies and solutions they didn’t previously have access to, in order to
enable them compete, grow and succeed. Microsoft in collaboration with MainOne
wants to enable SMEs with expertise that frees them to spend their energy on
their businesses instead of on technology.”
The Chief Executive Officer of MainOne, Funke Opeke
while commenting on the new product said that the joint partnership with
Microsoft is great step towards helping small businesses in Nigeria enhance
their productivity and internet presence.
Opeke said “the SME-in-a-Box Pro is a welcome product
for small businesses who require tools that enable their ability to scale up.
There are many challenges for small businesses especially in this period of
recession. The offering enables SMEs subscribe to these products directly with
support from MainOne in Nigeria and to pay for the services in Naira.”
