An African-based technology platform, Mercurie collaborates with Google to ease software payments in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya.
Ayode Akinfemiwa, Chief Executive Officer & Founder of Mercurie disclosed the partnership in a statement seen by Newsng on Wednesday.
Mercurie provides organisations with Google Workspace and Google Cloud bundles, as well as the ability to pay in local currencies.
Mercurie will be able to use its innovative technology to localise subscription fees and optimise utilisation of Google Cloud technology and Google Workspace, hence promoting adoption and assisting businesses in maximising the benefits of Google Cloud for growth.
“We are excited to partner with Google and contribute to their ecosystem,” said Akinfemiwa. “Our self-serve platform localizes Google Workspace and Google Cloud Platform subscription payments to naira.”
Newsng gathered that Mercurie’s cooperation with Google Cloud enables businesses in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya to simplify software payments in Africa by accessing and paying for Google Cloud services in local currencies.
As a result, organisations of various sizes can take advantage of Google Cloud’s innovative technology. Historically, Nigerian businesses have struggled to pay for cloud services in USD.
Mercurie is part of the Google Ads Partner program. Their platform, Adpay, has already enabled thousands of Nigerian businesses to access and pay for Google Ads using local money.
“This initiative will expand Google Cloud’s reach and enable more businesses to leverage its transformative capabilities.
“We are committed to removing the barriers to simplify software payments in Africa and helping businesses across the continent harness the full potential of digital technology,” he noted.
