GLOBE Telecom, Inc. announced on Tuesday that its cloud company, Cascadeo, recently signed a collaboration agreement with cloud service provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) to address the growing demand for cloud solutions in the country.
“The collaboration between AWS and Globe… will allow Globe to accelerate the advantages of the cloud to provide a superior customer experience while making Globe a preferred home for top cloud talent,” Globe Telecom’s Chief Information Officer Carlomagno E. Malana said during a virtual briefing.
Under the partnership, AWS will help Globe and Cascadeo ensure that its team and services can cater to the growing demand for cloud solutions.
“A comprehensive accreditation and certification program will enhance Globe and Cascadeo’s capabilities and responsiveness to help catalyze our customers’ digital transformation journey,” Mr. Malana noted.
Globe completed in 2020 its acquisition of Cascadeo, a US-based cloud managed services provider. It was founded in 2006 and focuses on automation, cloud-native platform, data analytics, serverless infrastructure, and programmatic security.
Globe hopes to accelerate its transformation into a “leading converged ICT solutions provider of connectivity, cybersecurity, and the cloud.”
AWS ASEAN Managing Director Conor McNamara said the partnership is expected to help accelerate cloud-enabled transformations for customers in the Philippines and the United States.
“As one of Southeast Asia’s earliest and most progressive cloud adopters, Globe is a trusted advisor to leading enterprises and organizations in the Philippines and we are delighted to support Globe as they help our joint customers digitally transform into cloud-native businesses,” he added.
Data analytics and consulting company GlobalData previously said the country’s cloud market is expected to hit $2.8 billion by 2025 from $1.8 billion in 2020, as many enterprises have expressed intention to migrate workloads to the cloud. — Arjay L. Balinbin
