In its usual innovative fashion, MTN Nigeria has partnered with the technology giant, Microsoft, to bring transformative cloud technology to Nigerian organisations through products that will digitise their business operations.

Cloud computing enables organisations to use digital resources stored in virtual spaces through networks – often satellite networks. It allows people to share information and applications without the restriction posed by location.

Speaking about this partnership and how it will usher transformative solutions for orgranisations and how they store and use data, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, MTN Nigeria, Lynda Saint-Nwafor, said, “Cloud has become the backbone of modern business operations revolutionising the way we store, process and analyse data, the way we collaborate across teams and the way we deliver value to customers. Our extensive network infrastructure as MTN, combined with Microsoft’s cutting-edge technologies, will provide a robust foundation for businesses’ digital acceleration needs and initiatives.”

Cloud computing is essential for businesses to thrive in this rapidly changing world.

While adopting cloud computing, companies might encounter challenges like skill shortages and lack of planning, existing data centre infrastructure limitations, and concerns about vendor lock-in, data sovereignty, and security.

Country Manager, Microsoft Nigeria and Ghana, Ola Williams, said, “When discussing technologies that enable a transformational shift, one of the key things to discuss is the cloud, which provides a flexible and agile way for organisations to embrace technology. Businesses need to be deliberate about how they incorporate cloud computing into their operations, and that is why it is always very beneficial when it is taken as a journey with the right partners.”
