Phase3 Telecom Moves on Digitized Connectivity Solutions
Phase3 Telecom, West Africa’s largest independent fibre optic infrastructure and telecommunications services provider has said that the current focus to optimize its infrastructure deployment, and service provisioning drive stems from its principal objective of bridging a challenging digital divide and fostering scalable solutions through digital technologies.
This will see that more people and businesses enjoy global standard connectivity solutions. This the company made known at the recent Ease of Doing Business Conference in Lagos.
For Phase3, ensuring that the nation thrives, and becomes globally renowned as an environment that enables sustainable business growth is not the sole responsibility of the government, and requires the support of private sector players especially in the information technology, and telecommunications spaces.
Particularly as technology driven business environments are both catalysts for economic growth and factors for social development in a country. More so, this dynamic speaks loudly in favour of businesses being able to carry out operations at reduced costs.
Mr Stanley Jegede, Phase chief executive officer, said the firm’s support for initiatives that advocate an enabling business environment or a thriving telecommunications landscape through digitized connectivity solutions is a key mission he believes is pivotal to economic growth, and demands the commitment of all industry players.
Adding that as the government continues to formulate future focused policies that would permanently position the country as a digitalized economy, Phase3 operations is poised for digital processes that support easy-to-use interface, and geographical networks than can optimize its service solutions.
With an investment portfolio that serves as the bedrock of resilient fiber network deployments, that ride on reduced capital spending to ensure its clients businesses thrive on a technology driven yet cost effective model.
Mrs Folashade Adesanya, Phase3 regional manager, Lagos also said programmes such as the Ease of Doing Business Conference does not only drive the necessary conversations to engender a flourishing business environment; it also motivates entities such as Phase3 to remain dedicated to its vision of strengthening its market position, re-imagining its business systems, and creating innovative telecom solutions along the way.
