Azercell named Company of the Year
Azerbaijan`s leading cellular operator, Azercell,
has been named the Company of the Year. The IT Magazine`s Intellect
- 2008 prize was awarded to Azercell for the fifth time, adding to
the company`s numerous awards received this year.
Ali Agan, Azercell Vice President, told the award presentation ceremony that just several days ago, Azercell turned 12.
"The company was established by a group of only five people. A year later, the number of its subscribers reached 10,000. Today, we have 3.5 million subscribers. Currently, Azercell is regarded among the best 100 companies of the world for GSMA standards."
According to the vice-president, Azercell seeks to become a company which Azerbaijan can be proud of, and, currently, it sends its professional employees to many countries, including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Moldova and Georgia. "We are very delighted to receive such awards which encourage us to work ever harder".
Another award, The Man of the Year, was presented to the head of Azercell. Halim Ates, General Manager of Azercell Telecom LLC, was named business person of the year.
"In past years, a particular assessment has been given to the projects which have been implemented in various fields of the national economy, including the IT sector," IT Magazine`s editor-in-chief, Arif Mammadzade, said at the ceremony. "But starting last year, the Experts Panel decided to also focus on the roles played by the companies and their leadership. For this reason, we have established a new nomination called The Man of the Year."
Receiving the award, Ali Agan recalled that Ates was appointed as head of Azercell Telecom LLC in early 2006. During this period, the company has been recognized for many achievements under his leadership. "As a result of successful activities, Mr. Halim Ates has been appointed as one of the top managers of TeliaSonera Eurasia, which is a shareholder of over 10 companies, including Azercell, Turkcell and Megaphone."
Throughout 2008, Azercell has implemented a variety of projects, programs and campaigns. So far, the company has concluded roaming agreements with 366 mobile operators from 146 countries.
The number of Azercell Express offices has increased not only in Baku, but also throughout the regions.
This year Azercell was recognized for its Corporate Social Responsibility Company for its social projects.
