Globe Telecom on Monday said it partnered with Red Hat, Inc., a leading provider of open source solutions, to modernize its IT infrastructure.
“Our collaboration with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs has been instrumental in our digital transformation journey. By adopting Red Hat OpenShift as a new enterprise-wide application development platform, we’re able to innovate quicker with a key focus on customer experience,” Raul Macatangay, Globe chief information officer, said.
Through the collaboration, Globe teams migrated the first application modules to Red Hat OpenShift faster and quickly learned to fully use its features, created a cross-functional team and established new operational processes. This laid the groundwork for scaling up the platform and migrating the first full application to Red Hat OpenShift over the next six months.
As Globe continues its transition from a traditional telecom company to a technology-driven enterprise, the adoption of Red Hat OpenShift provides the foundation for their ultimate goal of providing better customer experiences through a resilient, stable application platform.
Globe is committed to achieving operational excellence by evolving tools, processes and people to adhere to best practices and standards across the organization. Its vision is to become a self-sustaining organization – robust, flexible and adaptive to changes in the digital landscape.
“Our work with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs has allowed us to leverage cutting-edge cloud technologies, particularly with Red Hat OpenShift, to optimize our infrastructure for scalability and resilience,” John Rodel Villa, Globe lead cloud engineer, said.
Gabriel Pormilda, Globe lead software engineer, said integrating Red Hat OpenShift into the development process has proven a game-changer.
“It has not only streamlined our workflows but also empowered our teams to adopt a more collaborative and innovative approach to software engineering. This collaboration has set the stage for the next phase of Globe’s digital transformation, where we can explore new possibilities in AI and cloud-native development,” he said.
Marjet Andriesse, senior vice president and general manager at Red Hat APJC, said Globe’s engagement with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs has been pivotal in enhancing its technological capabilities and service offerings.
“By leveraging Red Hat’s open source solutions, including Red Hat OpenShift, Globe has modernized its IT environment, enabling greater agility and scalability. This engagement demonstrates Globe’s dedication to innovation and its effort to adopt advanced technologies for delivering high-quality services to its customers,”she said.
