In response to the Egyptian government’s decision to close schools and universities for two weeks to prevent the spread of coronavirus, Orange Egypt and Avaya have partnered to enable the country’s educational institutions to implement remote learning initiatives.
This follows the ongoing support by the two organisations for Digital Transformation and government-led innovation initiatives in Egypt and will serve to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the education sector.
Avaya will offer educational institutions full-feature access to its app, Avaya Spaces, for free. Avaya Spaces, is a cloud meeting and team collaboration solution that integrates chat, voice, video, online meetings and content sharing.
Orange Egypt is a leading provider of integrated telecommunications services. Hisham Mahran, Vice President of Orange Egypt for the corporate sector, said: “The solution that we are jointly offering enables educational institutions to maintain the safety of students as their top priority, while ensuring minimum disruption to their education.”
Ahmed Fayed, Country Manager for Egypt and Libya at Avaya, said: “As a socially responsible organisation, Avaya is deeply committed to providing technology for the good of humanity.”
The app being jointly offered by Orange Egypt and Avaya works on all Android and iOS smart devices and can also be securely accessed on personal computers and laptops via Chrome or Firefox browsers.
