Orange Jordan renewed its
partnership with Jordan University recently. The partnership aims to
meet the needs of academic faculties, administration and the students
at the university. The agreement was signed by Mr. Jérôme Hénique,
CEO of Orange Jordan and Dr. Azmi Mahafza, President of the
University of Jordan and in the presence of a number of executives
from both groups.
According to the
agreement which will continue for a year, a Koisk will be installed
at the university campus, though which a variety of Orange Jordan
telecommunication services will be provided, most notably the ability
to pay bills in the Koisk, to facilitate the lives of staff and
students. The services will be integrated with those of the postal
office as well, in order to offer exceptional and customized
telecommunication services.
Upon signing, Hénique
stated that Orange Jordan will continue offering a variety of
telecommunication services to facilitate students’ lives, through
the Koisk on campus, where the company seeks to focus on the youth
segment in society, by providing the needed support, as it believes
that they are the leaders of the future.
Hénique noted that the
long-term partnership formed between Orange Jordan and the University
of Jordan is an example of the cooperation between both the private
and academic sector.
Dr. Mahafza emphasized
the efforts made by Orange Jordan at the University of Jordan and its
outstanding contributions to supporting science, to be a role model
in the partnership between the academic and private sectors.
He also said that the
university is committed to providing all the services to its
students, and that the partnership with Orange Jordan is one of the
many partnerships with the private sector that seeks to develop the
concept of cohesion between the academic and private sector, to
ensure harmony between both on several levels whether it is
scientific research, advanced services or matching the academic
output with the labor market.
This agreement falls into
a series of agreements and collaborations between Orange Jordan and
prestigious academic institutions within the framework of its
five-year strategy Essentials 2020, which aims to contribute to
developing the local information technology and telecommunications
sector through providing it with the competencies that the company
is working on establishing academically, practically and at the
highest levels.
