The idea is a complete company mobility solution that gives every employee the tools they need to work remotely or in a hybrid workplace. Etisalat by e& and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the capital’s financial hub, have teamed to provide tenants and entrepreneurs digital solutions and goods.
Through this partnership, etisalat by e&’s solutions will address the digital needs of businesses by providing benefits that will facilitate office, remote and hybrid working.
The proposition is an all-in-one solution designed to ensure complete business mobility by equipping each employee to work remotely or in a hybrid work environment. Employees will have access to user packages that include a multitude of collaboration, communication, productivity and security tools.
The offering also includes e-Store, which helps businesses to have the ability to build their own digital platforms.
The Etisalat by e& e-Store solution, a fully integrated shop allows SMBs to sell their products online, manage payments through the brand’s payment gateways and other platforms in the region.
Businesses can upload all their products and publish their website in minutes, integrate their shop configuration, categorise their products, secure their payments, configure and manage their shop on mobile.
e-Store is designed to provide SMBs with a website experience that meets their business needs. They can create a professional looking website without using a web designer, as it contains over 1,000 free ready-made templates covering more than 80 SMB verticals. Its drag-and-drop interface has a photo editor, video clips, free stock images and Google Maps, among other features.
