The Chief Marketing Officer of Vodafone Ghana, Madam Agnes Emefa Essah, has called on Ghanaians to embrace technology which has become a modern day tool to succeed in the world.
Speaking at the independently organised TED event, TEDx at the National Theatre in Accra on Saturday, Madam Essah explained that with the evolving technology, mobile phones had made everything comfortable including accessing information for business transactions.
According to her, unlike in the time past when it took more effort and time to access information, today, within minutes, a business transaction is sealed.
She said without technology, the mode of communication between businesses, family and friends would have been difficult since the only mode of communication was through letters which takes weeks to get to the recipient.
Madam Essah said the introduction of technology communication and business transactions have been made easy and very competitive as businesses could easily access information about their competitors and strategise to outwit them.
“ It has also given marketers and consumers the opportunity to make decisions on what to purchase and the kind of business to venture into,” she said.
She urged institutions not to remain passive, but be abreast of new trends in technology that would help transform the economy.
