As part of realizing digital Ethiopia along with introducing new services and products, and ignited by its “LEAD grow strategy”, Ethio telecom has introduced a system called “Tele Cloud”. The system is said to offer a digital solution for institutions seeking an efficient off-site data back-up solution and individuals who need larger storage spaces to store, compile and access various services in secure data centers built by digital solution providers without the need to build their own data center or acquire additional infrastructure.
On an event held at the newly launched science museum on Thursday October 27, 2022, Ethio telecom unveiled “Tele Cloud” to its enterprise customers.
The telecommunication’s cloud will provide three types of services: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – a cloud service that allows users to save their personal information from wherever they are, Platform as a Service (PaaS) – a platform that allows software developers to use a complete database management system, and Software as a Service (SaaS) – a service where customers can get software, paying their license fees using Tele Cloud.
Additionally, Tele Cloud offers three services; Oneoffice solution, Video Management System (VMS) and Smart Education productivity /U-learning.
As stated during the launch, using Tele Cloud, organizations and institutions can avoid the time spent on technology selection, infrastructure construction, training and maintenance, as well as foreign exchange payments, aiding them to focus only on their business activities and service quality whilst avoiding unnecessary expenses.
Customers can now access the service by using the firm’s website and paying the necessary fees through telebirr.
Furthermore on Monday October 24, 2022 Ethio telecom signed a partnership agreement with the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration (MoTRI) to enable customers of the Ministry to settle commercial registration, trade license and trade name related service fee payments using the telebirr.
As indicated, customers of MoTRI can now easily settle service payments of new commercial registration, amendment replacement and cancellation as well as new trade license, trade license renewal, replacement and cancellation and new trade name, trade name amendment, renewal, replacement and trade name cancellation.
So far, the telebirr digital payment platform has over 25 million subscribers having more than 101 master agents, 87 thousand agents and 23 thousand merchants. More than 101.1 billion birr has been transacted through telebirr.
As part of digitalization, Ethio telecom has been aggressively working in expanding digital payment system throughout the country.
“Furthermore, our company has already integrated a number of services with telebirr digital payment system by signing agreements with several service rendering organizations and institutions so as to ease their customers’ service related hustles,” said Frehiwot Tamiru, CEO of the company, adding, “In the time ahead, our company is keeping on diligently committing to integrate with a number of services with telebirr digital payment system in collaboration with other similar institutions.”
