Orange Jordan Solidifies its Digital Leadership by Launching the All-In-One “Max it” Application

Orange Jordan started off the year on a high note taking a quantum leap in the customer experience arena with the launch of its first-of-a-kind application “Max it”, serving as an All-in-One super app. The launch took place during a press conference organized under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Eng. Sami Smeirat. This step while embodying “Orange is Here”, reveals the “one application for everything” concept to customers elevating their whole experience in unprecedented ways. The launch was announced during a press conference that was attended by the Orange’s executive management and media representatives.

The all-in-one new super app enables customers to manage My Orange, jood, Roamkit, Weinak, and Orange Money in one place. It was designed to serve the purpose of being their destination for the new features including multi-line management and the marketplace where customers can explore and purchase Orange’s products including the non-telco products, in addition to the reward feature.

The CEO of Orange Jordan, Philippe Mansour, emphasized that this launch further solidifies Orange’s position as the true responsible digital leader. The super app “Max it” will be reshaping the future of customers’ experience as they will no longer need to download more than one application to manage their multiple requirements. Furthermore, Orange’s customers and other networks’ subscribers will be benefiting from the new application and its revolutionary features.

Mansour also expressed his pride in Orange’s vision that is coupled with the team’s continued efforts and the global expertise to transform the whole experience of the customers in Jordan. The result is nothing but a breakthrough in the digital scene.

Given Orange’s belief that the educational part should go hand in hand with the new products and services, it conducted a panel discussion on the sidelines of the press conference. Experts from Orange discussed the advantages of the application in detail and how customers can smoothly transition to it without affecting their current experience. They also shed light on the company’s future plans with regard to the application, in particular and the customer experience in general.

It is worth mentioning that Max it, which embodies Orange’s spirit of innovation in Africa and the Middle East, has already been launched in several countries and will soon be expanded to other countries where Orange is present in the region.

The app is now available on iOS and Android devices, to download the application: https://bit.ly/MAXIT_jo

In the presence of representatives from JOIN Fincubator’s three sponsoring banks: Jordan Kuwait Bank, the Housing Bank for Trade and Finance, and Jordan Islamic Bank, along with representatives from the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the Jordan Payments and Clearing Company (JoPACC) held a Demo Day for the “Green Fintech Innovation Challenge: Empowering MSMEs”.

This challenge, which was announced last December for Jordanian Green fintech companies, was sponsored by the GIZ and aimed to find innovative green solutions for fintech companies.  The objective is to address environmental goals in broader green fintech concepts, whether developing new financing models, eco-friendly investment tools, or technologies that support sustainable growth to advancing Jordan’s financial sector toward a greener, more inclusive future. Participants will have the opportunity to compete for prizes worth up to 100,000 JOD and qualify the winning companies to work on a “Proof of Concept” (PoC) that can be implemented in both commercial and Islamic banks.

The Demo Day included presentations by seven shortlisted companies, who showcased their business models and solutions to a judging panel comprising industry experts from the three sponsoring banks of JOIN Fincubator, who in turn evaluated and rated the proposed solutions. Consequently, 4 finalists were selected for the next phase of the challenge which is 1on1 in-depth meetings with the sponsoring banks: Leaf Now Pay Later, Golden Sand, InvoiceQ, and iPlant.
The Green Fintech Innovation Challenge consists of two stages. The first stage included a month-and-a-half registration period, during which we received over 100 applications. Seven of these applicants advanced to the second stage, where they presented their solutions during the Demo Day. The winners will implement their Proof of Concept (PoC) within 60 days of the announcement, working closely with the sponsoring banks of the JOIN Fincubator. Notably, JoPACC will cover the costs associated with the implementation of the PoC.

Strategically, through the Corporate Challenges organized by its fintech incubator; JOIN Fincubator, JoPACC aims to position Jordan as a hub for pioneering technological innovations that benefit both the Kingdom and the region.

Huawei, in collaboration with the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation-Computer Emergency Response Team (OIC-CERT) and the Oman National CERT, today announced the release of the OIC-CERT Software Supply Chain Security Framework. This framework provides crucial guidance to OIC member states on establishing robust software supply chain security management, ensuring end-to-end cybersecurity. This comes at a critical time when cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses in the region, with 55% of companies in the Middle East prioritizing mitigating digital and technology risks over the next year, exceeding the global average of 53%, according to a report by PwC. Within this, cyber risks remain a significant concern, with 42% of regional businesses focusing on them.

Developed by the OIC-CERT Supply Chain Security working group, co-chaired by the Oman National CERT and Huawei, the framework addresses the growing complexity and interconnectedness of software systems and the increasing risks of supply chain attacks. It offers practical guidance for regulatory authorities in member countries to formulate effective policies for software supply chain manufacturers and service providers.

The framework provides a comprehensive approach to software supply chain security governance, covering key areas such as supplier cybersecurity management, open-source software management, R&D and production management. It guides organizations in implementing security measures throughout the entire software lifecycle, from evaluating and selecting suppliers to securing the development and deployment processes. It also emphasizes the importance of managing open-source software components and integrating security practices into research, development, and production environments. This holistic approach aims to mitigate risks throughout the software supply chain.

Aloysius Cheang, Chief Security Officer for Huawei in the Middle East and Central Asia, said: “Huawei is committed to collaborating with global partners to enhance cybersecurity for all. This framework represents a significant step forward in strengthening software supply chain security across the OIC member states. We believe that by working together and sharing best practices, we can create a more secure and trustworthy digital environment for everyone.”

 Dr. Saleh Said Al Hashmi at Oman National CERT, highlighted the significance of this framework and the value of collaboration, stating: “In today’s interconnected world, software supply chain security is paramount. This framework provides a crucial foundation for OIC member states to build resilient digital economies. Our collaboration with Huawei leverages their expertise and industry insights to develop comprehensive guidelines that address the evolving threat landscape. By adopting these recommendations, nations can effectively mitigate risks and protect critical infrastructure. We believe this joint effort will significantly enhance cybersecurity across the OIC community.”

The framework’s release comes at a pivotal moment, as software supply chain attacks continue to evolve and pose significant threats to organizations and nations. By prioritizing supply chain cybersecurity, OIC member states can protect their digital assets, foster trust, and enhance resilience in an increasingly interconnected world.

This initiative underscores Huawei’s ongoing commitment to contributing to the development of cybersecurity standards and enhancing industry security capabilities. By collaborating with international organizations like OIC-CERT, Huawei aims to support the building of cyber resilience and contribute to a more secure and trustworthy cyberspace.
