The Group Executive Director, Globacom, Mr. Paddy Adenuga has explained why the Second National Operator (SNO), last weekend re-launched its website, www.gloworld.com, saying the objective was to make it more customer friendly and interactive.

Speaking in Lagos, Adenuga noted that apart from having more trendy features and visual appeal, the redesigned site is much easier to browse and offers more interactive platforms to customers and visitors.

He said the upgrading of the website would be implemented in phases and would be concluded by third quarter of this year.

Adenuga also said that the decision to upgrade the site was in line with the SNO’s commitment to continuously explore ways to offer more value to subscribers.

He stressed that the objective of the upgrade, was to grow an interactive and viral content hub which would cater to the needs of all potential customers and visitors.

“We hope to increase the awareness of the Glo brand, grow and sustain our client base through the website,” he affirmed.

He said Globacom has put in place a state-of-the-art hosting platform for its site to ensure availability and up-time, resulting in a highly responsive and fast website experience for all traffic.

“The new site offers an exciting browsing experience. It has been redesigned in such a way that it is fast and easy to surf.
