According to him, mobility solutions not only bring improvements to the mobile worker but also deliver key enhancements to the broader business process. He said MTN was committed to continuous provision of innovative business solutions to corporate customers.

He said: “The MTN Enterprise Apps are applications that run on phones, tablets and other handheld devices designed specifically to provide mobile workers access to their organisations’ Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and applications on the go, thus making them more productive. MTN Enterprise Apps transforms an organisation’s workers into an empowered mobile workforce that can effectively get work done in or out of the office, anywhere and anytime.”
