GlobalConnect, a Pan-African digital and infrastructure services company, has launched its new Customer Success Centres in Ghana and Kenya.
Through this initiative, it will enhance better customer experience globally, by enabling all support requests to be managed more efficiently.
The Customer Success Centres will include the insourcing of Network Operations Centre (NOC) and the establishment of a new Service Operations Centre (SOC). This is the first step of the company’s phased investment which forms part of the expansive plans for the region, with Ghana identified as one of their key markets.
Ghana’s Vice President, H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, attended the event, and thanked MTN for what he called a ‘bold step’.
“Ghana has made tremendous strides in the digitalisation field. And one of the fruits of these strides is the decision to relocate the MTN GlobalConnect network operation centre in our country. This first tangible sign of Ghana’s digital transformation justifies the vision of President Nana Akufo-Addo that Ghana should benchmark itself against the best in the world.”

Following the Vice President’s Speech, Ghana’s Deputy Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Hon. Ama Pomaa Boateng, stated that the launch of MTN GlobalConnect operations in Ghana marked “another high point in Ghana’s coming of age as a digital hub on the continent”.
“I commend MTN Group and MTN GlobalConnect for making the centre possible and for choosing Ghana. The Communications and Digitalisation Ministry will continue to create the enabling environment to facilitate your operations”.

Echoing the Deputy Minister for Communications and Digitalization’s speech, MTN Group President and CEO, Ralph Mupita, explained that MTN GlobalConnect’s commitment to connecting Africa to the world aims to foster innovation and further grow the continent’s digital economy.
