3 Big Lessons From Our Annual Valentines' Day Reception

So last week was Valentines' Day and we didn't carry last at Chams Plc. Even though it fell on a weekend, it didn't deter us from holding our annual get-together. The atmosphere was thick with love - love for the mouth-watering cupcakes and drinks maybe.

It could have been the excitement from all the activities which preceded the reception party perhaps it was the anticipation of all the expected gifts that had us in cloud 9 by the time the party began. Earlier in the month, we got to pick a mystery valentine partner to gift special items before the reception party. During the week, there were a series of Treasure Card Hunts in strategic parts of the office, even the MD and DMD's offices weren't left out. Finders were to present the cards at the party in exchange for a gift.

The party kicked off with a speech from the head of Strategy & Corporate Planning, Lolade Awogbade, she commended everyone for taking part in the process and obeying the rules of the game. (Lesson 1)

The financial sector biometric project is being implemented by Chams Plc in partnership with Dermalog Identification Systems, a global bio-payments firm. Bank customers who have registered for the Bank Verification Number will be identified by the unique number and will have improved access to a range of secure, convenient and high quality financial products and services such as savings, credit, insurance, payments and pension, which were earlier difficult without a proper identification and verification process.

How is Chams maximizing opportunities in the local market with affiliations to global leaders like Datacard, Dermalog, Bitel and Iguard?

One of our core values at Chams is innovation, and it has been at the core of our business practice. We do not merely transplant solutions from the developed market rather we work collaboratively with global market leaders to develop innovative solutions for the Nigerian Market.

For instance, we are presently working with Datacard, the world’s leading provider of secure identity and card personalization solutions, to deliver instant issuance of payments cards in the Nigerian market to banks. Same for our on-going project with Dermalog on the Biometric Matching Solution for the banking industry as initiated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Banker’s Committee, with the support of NIBSS. In the PoS and Access Control markets in which Bitel and Iguard are market leaders, we are also working in a similar manner.
