The Ministry of Youth and Orange Jordan signed a joint cooperation agreement on Thursday, under which the company will equip three halls in youth centers affiliated to the ministry in the northern, central and southern regions, which include: Kafranja Center for Women in Ajloun, Young Arda Women Center in Balqa and Aqaba Youth Center. The agreement was signed by the Minister of Youth, His Excellency Makram Al-Qaisi and Orange Jordan’s CEO, Thierry Marigny.

Al-Qaisi said that the ministry has included in its action plan a study about the present situation of youth centers and its rehabilitation, whereby signing the agreement will result in the rehabilitation of three youth centers distributed across three regions, through equipping its halls digitally, to suit the aspirations of young people, in addition to offering training to the youth trainees, whom are considered a main link with them, as he valued the partnership with Orange Jordan and the role it plays in supporting Jordanian youth.

From his side, Marigny affirmed that this agreement is in line with the objectives of the company’s five-year corporate strategy “Essentials 2020”, which focuses on increasing awareness on technology usage and benefiting from the availability of a strong internet, through the company’s network, which is considered to be the best. Additionally, it serves the company’s commitment in contributing to reducing the digital gap in the local community through providing modern learning methods based on digital education.

Regarding the role of Orange Jordan in this agreement, Marigny explained that under this agreement, which falls under Orange Jordan’s digital centers umbrella, the company will train the trainers who are responsible for helping young people gain new skills in three main topics: communication, digital, leadership and entrepreneurship skills. The company will also provide integrated telecommunications solutions to support training and the rehabilitation of the halls, in order to create a suitable training environment.

He added that supporting these youth centers, that support young people throughout the Kingdom, will develop their knowledge and increase their competencies, which will enable them to deal with the latest developments and challenges efficiently and effectively.

Globitel, a leading telecom and customer care solutions provider, announces that they have developed a new voice authentication solution using groundbreaking technology. The new solution will be a part of Globitel’s SpeechLog Suite and it will be called SpeechLog Voice Authentication.

SpeechLog Voice Authentication is the sixth solution to be added to the SpeechLog Suite. This solution allows contact center agents to identify callers by their voice only using cutting-edge biometric voice verification technology.

Like fingerprints and patterns of people’s irises, vocal characteristics (voice print) are unique for each individual. With its simple integration, your contact center is readily equipped with this top-of-the-line technology.

Several features characterize the vast utility and impressive function of SpeechLog Voice Authentication. For example, with its analysis of correct or rejected identification, it helps in measuring the accuracy of the system and effectiveness in matching individuals to their voice prints.

Another great feature is that the solution intelligently adapts to enhance existing voice prints whenever a legitimate caller was labelled fraudulent by the system.

Security is a major factor for contact centers, which the solution caters to. Multi-level authentication, encryption, fraudster control, etc. are some security features your contact center benefits from through SpeechLog Voice Authentication.

According to analyst firm Contact Babel, most contact centers currently take up to 60 seconds to verify the identity of a customer. Voice authentication technologies reduce caller identification to 10-15 seconds. A 50-45 second reduction in call handle time could save millions annually for contact centers.

Mr. Fadi Qutaishat, Vice President of Globitel

“With our mission as a company focused entirely on enhancing the customer service experience, our portfolio continues to grow with innovative new solutions. In 1996 we entered the market when SpeechLog Suite was just one solution; SpeechLog Call Recorder, a call recording software. Since then, we have added five new solutions to match the growing needs of contact centers. SpeechLog Voice Authentication was the latest addition to the suite.”

Mr. Fadi continued,

“Speed, security, efficiency, cost savings, enhanced customer service, etc. SpeechLog Voice Authentication has innumerable benefits for customers and businesses using it alike. With reduced handle time, agents close cases quicker, people are served better, contact center is secured and safe, and businesses reap the rewards of proven cost savings and higher customer satisfaction. The solution provides the enhanced security your contact center needs in today’s market, along with the speed and convenience people have come to expect from businesses and customer service.”

On this occasion, Engineer Al Gharaibeh said that the launching of knowledge stations stemmed from His Majesty’s vision to transform the Kingdom’s economy into a knowledge based and digital economy and offering services to reach all citizens across governorates. The Ministry is currently working in partnership with the private sector companies to find innovative and entrepreneurial ways as well as new dimensions to benefit from knowledge stations, to serve the local community and B2B business incubators and realize development for the residents of the governorates.

He praised Orange Jordan for supporting and adopting different governmental initiatives which aim to spread technological awareness in general and its continuous efforts to support numerous knowledge stations.

He added that the Mafraq Knowledge Station was launched along with other stations in the Kingdom’s governorates, under the umbrella of Orange Digital Centers, in cooperation with Orange Jordan’s partners in this important project, stressing that this project stems from the company’s commitment to achieving His Majesty King Abdullah II’s vision to build and empower the community in terms of knowledge, the thing which falls in line with the company’s five-year corporate strategy, “Essentials 2020” which prioritizes bridging the digital divide and maximizing the benefits from the internet across the Kingdom.

The opening ceremony also comprised a tour of Orange Digital Station, which was renovated to become a suitable training venue similar to other knowledge stations that are located in other governorates, in which the training needs of the beneficiaries and methods of gaining from these knowledge stations have been identified

The tour also included a visit to the Jordanian-German Center for Excellence in Solar Energy, which was established through a grant from Orange Jordan and worth half a million JD, falling under its special solar energy project in the Mafraq Development Area.
