Empowering operations
The partnership between global eSIM technology provider 1GLOBAL Workz Group and the Dubai-based mobile solutions and serialization software specialist was first announced back in September 2018. The focus of the collaboration was on 1GLOBAL licensing its GSMA-accredited remote SIM provisioning platform and SIM operating system (OS) to Workz Group to empower them upgrading their regional operations.
The deal enabled Workz to offer its customers state-of-the-art SIM technology, which had until then been otherwise unavailable in the rapidly growing Middle East and Africa market. The deal was a unique opportunity for 1GLOBAL to showcase its capabilities to mobile operators in new territories and demonstrate the power of its technology.
Seamless integration
The 1GLOBAL SIM OS software and remote SIM provisioning platform was seamlessly integrated into Workz Group's GSMA-accredited SIM hardware, together creating an unrivalled solution for the latest mobile technology in the Middle East.
By August of that year, Workz became the first GSMA eSIM factory for Africa and the Middle East, guaranteeing that its SIM chips were manufactured to the highest level of security and in compliance to international standards for compatibility.
