Globe Business to support IT sector for National ICT Month

This campaign is a way to help the Philippine government's efforts to further strengthen the digital capabilities of local SMEs. The main forerunner here is the Department of Information and Communication Technology who aims to uplift the technology and the business ecosystem of the country. It also wants to highlight the best of what the PH start-ups and ecosystem have to offer.

The National ICT Month was kickstarted by the DICT's "Onwards Through ICT: Building a Stronger Philippine Digital Economy" campaign. Globe Business launched several initiatives aimed at helping micro, small, and medium enterprises accelerate their digital transformation.

One of the biggest events is the virtual hackathon competition called "Hack-It-In. Own the Power of API Innovation". This highlights the IT-BPM industry as an enabler of MSMEs. The hackathon brought together experts in information technology and business start-ups to create cutting-edge digital solutions that will empower businesses to thrive today and accelerate the shift towards a connected tomorrow using Globe Labs API solutions.

Participating teams went through enablement workshops to gain insights and techniques useful for their proposed apps or programs. The team with the most innovative digital solution was awarded PHP 200,000-worth of prizes from Globe, at the awarding ceremony last July 29.

As part of Globe Business’ ICT Month offerings, customers who subscribe to Globe Labs API solutions for a minimum contract value will be able to choose from the following complimentary gifts that include an 8th Generation iPad, up to PHP 50,000 worth of GCash Credits, or Paid Training amounting to PHP 30,000.

MSMEs have five options of API solutions to choose from with Globe Business:

The SMS API makes it easy to communicate with all your customers through bulk messaging options that help you reach people from all networks, bearing your company name for more credibility.

The Sponsored Access API encourages customers to use your app or visit your website by giving them free data connectivity when they use your app or site, resulting in a boost in engagement and foot traffic on your digital platforms.  

The Rewards Load API helps you have a good relationship with your customers by seamlessly rewarding them with Globe prepaid load, postpaid credits, or call, text, and surfing promos. 

The Charging API allows for easier transactions between you and your customers by providing the option to pay through their prepaid load or postpaid bill. 

The Voice API enables businesses to cut back on staffing expenses and use voice automation to respond to customer inquiries. 

Meanwhile, to help enterprises operate more efficiently despite current restrictions, Globe Business also launched several special offers to make remote working more productive. Businesses can choose from a range of subscriptions such as myBiz Data Plan 999 with 20GB data plan that includes pocket wifi or a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and Google Workspace, which includes access to apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Meet. It also includes Cloud Payroll that can automate salary computations, reduce errors, and track employee hours accurately.
