Manila-based, ADEC Innovations is committed to setting up a Call Centre in Samoa once the Tui Samoa Cable is operational at the end of the year.
ADEC’s Chief Executive Officer James M. Donovan made the commitment while in Apia attending the recent Pacific Island Forum leaders meeting.
He has reassured government that he will return in November to continue negotiations with the relevant government officials, according to a release from the Ministry of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
“He’s committed to start a call center with 50 to 100 seats in the initial stages,” says ICT Minister Afamasaga Rico Tupai.
“As stated by the Prime Minister, government’s multi-million tala ICT investment represents more than just improved and affordable internet connectivity; it covers a range of sectors with employment creation as a key component.
“ICT is not just about the technologies themselves; it’s about the impact they are having on our communities and economies, enabling us to leapfrog over more traditional, outdated and expensive systems of the past, and transform our lives.”
ADEC is one of the spin-offs from the marketing strategy spearheaded by the government to promote its ICT drive utilising the Tui-Samoa Cable and its new partnerships with international stakeholders, says Afamasaga.
Government target is to realise government’s vision for Samoa to become the Pacific ICT Hub by 2020.
