The economic environment is not favourable for business because of the government insensitivity and Snail pace

I will advice the telecom operators to curb the payment of celebrities

little wonder why the companies are retrenching staffs from the operator to vendor to sub contractors. ericsson is fading out, is almost non existing even huawei is struggling severely. my advice to young engineering graduates please look elsewhere other than the messed up industry. #my kobo!

Useless service providers looking for a way to increase their tariff, to improve their services is a problem but only good at dishing money to yeyebrities.

My brother oo, the thing dey baffle me too. What do they even do with so many so called ambassadors

I hope baba is not deliberately crashing this economy to satisfy the whims of the west. Food price to go up, telecom sector problems, fuel scarcity looming, naira devaluation - all in one month.

iyke926:
So we should expect a higher call rate?

when revenues are declining the practical thing to do is to cut cost and not increase price of services cos u force customers to look for other alternatives, I think this yrs xmas will be leaner than last yr cos people will reduce spending on unnecessary items.

I hope we dont go the way of greece.

they should try to adjust then

[size=18pt]Since they have been carting away billions of dollars noboby heard their shouts of dismay but now that the table has turned they want to fill our ears with nonsense
They should know that whatever goes up must surely come down [/size]

And the dullard can't do anything about it.

Change is here.

I knew this illiterate abo.ki doesn't have an idea what he's taking on as president, he's still shell shocked and doesn't know what to do.

This mess is caused by the dullard that left... It takes time to cleanup.

We will soon go back to N50 naira per minute. Watch out as it unfolds.

interesting....

is forex trading a lucrative business?

These Companies have to be creative. Even though it's a highly competitive industry, they have to work together to solve their common challenges. Problems involving Base stations and switching can be resolved by collaboration. I also think, as rightly noted in the article, looking towards local content and backward integration will be of great help.

They need to also shift a large part of their business focus to data and data based services. Majority of consumers are becoming more of data consumers than voice consumers. You have things like BBM and WhatsApp that provide instant messaging that have made texts almost redundant and data calls that are becoming popular.

Finally, I think it's time they be listed on the stock exchange. Nigerians need to have stakes in them, plus it's extra capital.

The NCC need to sit up. They are supposed to be the CBN of the telecoms industry.

PRESS RELEASE

[size=18pt]Mobile technology puts African business owners in the driving seat[/size]

JOHANNESBURG, South-Africa, July 2, 2015/ -- With smartphone penetration ramping up across Africa, the continent’s businesses have an opportunity to use mobile technology to become more efficient, productive, and responsive in the way they do business.

According to the Ericsson Mobility Report for 2015 (http://www.apo.af/uwS8Ft), there were more than 910 million mobile subscriptions in Africa by the first quarter of 2015. A growing number of these mobile users are now walking around with powerful smart devices that give them access to apps and information wherever they are.

ERP – making collaboration easy

And that, in turn, creates new ways for organisations to interact with employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders. “We’re seeing many organisations mobilise their enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, “says Keith Fenner, Senior Vice-President Sales - Sage ERP Africa & Sage ERP X3 AAMEA, Director and Head of Sage Middle East (http://www.sage.com).

“Workers and managers are increasingly able to access ERP data on the road to serve customers, speed up decision-making, and save time.”

For example, a salesperson can now easily check from a tablet or smartphone whether a product is in stock while on-site with a customer, says Fenner. They can capture the customer’s details and initiate the order without leaving the customer premises, all leading to a faster and more seamless service.

“Mobile workers can now use their time between meetings and at airports more productively,” he adds. “And they can access data on the spot so that they can react to opportunities and problems more rapidly. Of course, mobilising business processes also streamlines processes by allowing data to be captured in the field.”

Accounting for all on the move

Sage Pastel Accounting General Manager, Daryl Blundell, notes that mobility is transforming smaller businesses. “An accounting solution with a good mobile app is a real boon for SMEs,” he says. “Employees with mobile devices can be productive many more hours a week because they can work from anywhere in the world and can maximise what might otherwise have been wasted time waiting in airports and reception rooms.”

He adds: “Sales people can take their tablets into meetings and give PowerPoint presentations, while MDs can quickly see the status of business KPIs on a real-time dashboard. And enterprise mobility can allow employees access to information on the fly, such as financial reports, stock orders, customer data and inventory lists.

“Customers can accept terms by physically signing the mobile device, so deals can be negotiated and closed in one meeting. Employees can keep up to date with work without returning to the office and stay up to date on relevant projects so deadlines aren't missed. What’s more, it helps everyone achieve a healthy work-life balance.”

Mobilising HR functions
Mobile technology is also helping HR departments to become more efficient and to build better relationships with employees. Gerhard Hartman, Head of Sage HR & Payroll’s International Division, says that companies can now offer employee self-service (ESS) across mobile devices to streamline HR processes and engage employees more effectively.

“With mobile ESS, companies can enable employees to file leave applications, doctor’s notes when they’re ill, and expense claims - all from their mobile devices,” he adds. “They can look up their payslips, change their personal details, and more, all without needing to do paperwork or phone the HR department.”

Employees benefit from the convenience and access to information 24/7, while managers and the HR department can handle leave requests, expense claims, and other admin from their own mobile devices. The result is that everyone saves time and gets more done, says Hartman. “Accessing HR tools from your mobile simplify everyone's life - from the employee trying to figure out how many vacation days they have left to the HR team who should be focusing on strategy and value-add rather than on paperwork,” he adds.

bottom line is Nigeria needs to diversify its economy from oil...i just hope our present politicians can get it into their thick skulls this time..if we don't act fast what is happening to Greece would be just a tip of the iceberg in our case...


we need to think beyond the oil in the niger delta and move this country forward...look at how stuck we are...

You're in for an eternal wait. A man who hardly sees beyond his stomach and bank accounts doesn't have the time to think of diversifying a nation's economy.

I've given up on him since 2010! !

all these news are jusy smoke screens do as to justify their oncoming action to increase their datas and tarriff,i just hope baba takes a drastic action...

you call someone an illiterate yet show your ignorance in public. if u actually read the post before ranting nonsense, you would understand that they woes they and every other business faces is as a result of the activities of the past administration. I would be nice for u to also know that the reason u pay high tariffs is because the past administrations especially that of jonathan created an uncondusive business environment that would enable another bloc of telecoms companies to break the oligopolistic tendencies of the current bloc. I pray u have more sense in future
