Globe harnesses digital technologies as PH adjusts to new normal
The past two months have seen a sudden shift from physical to digital — with companies adopting the work-from-home setup, schools pushing for online learning, brick-and-mortar stores selling goods online, consumers relying on the internet as a source of entertainment, among other changes.
With these developments, Globe is looking into various ways to unlock value in digital technology to deliver seamless, frictionless, immersive, and consistent digital experiences to its customers.
Steps being undertaken by the company include creating robust digital platforms and applications for seamless service delivery for its mobile and broadband customers, forging partnerships to create innovative content-driven experiences for customers, constant improvement of digital sales and care channels, and use of multiple and integrated channels that create a cohesive and personalized customer experience.
“We have seen the digital shift a couple of years back but the level of adoption then was too low. The community quarantine forced many people to adapt to digital applications. As customers become more used to the digital environment, we will see a lot of innovations coming in which will form the new normal,” said Ernest Cu, Globe President, and CEO.
At the same time, Globe empowers the local economy in its digital transformation by helping businesses flourish through the right technology, infrastructure, solutions, and know-how. It also enables small business owners to offer more products and services to stimulate the e-commerce industry and the digital economy.

To keep pace with the digital transition, Globe acknowledges the necessity to effectively adapt to disruptive shifts in technology and volatile business environments while honing workforce skillsets and devising innovative business models.
Thus, at the forefront of the company’s efforts are its workforce who continuously ideate and design unique value propositions for the customers using various digital tools, knowledge, and platforms such as cloud, low code tools, and robotic process automation.
