Alibaba Cloud launches support program for PH businesses, inks deal with ABS-CBN
The cloud computing subsidiary of Alibaba Group, Alibaba Cloud recently launched a “support program” called Cloud One which aims to boost and empower Philippines businesses.
The program will help eligible businesses to maximize their digital technology capabilities.
“Governments need to keep up with the pace of a hyper-connected world and the demands of their citizens for faster, real-time, transparent, inclusive, efficient, and responsive public services.” Atty. Jocelle Batapa-Sigue, Undersecretary for ICT Industry Development, the Philippines Department of Information and Communications Technology(DICT), said during the Alibaba Cloud Summit Philippines 2022.
“To do this, the Philippines’ core strategy is to promote and achieve digital transformation. Leveraging on cloud-based technologies and solutions should be part of the groundwork towards digital governance and eventually building a robust digital economy,” she added.
During the summit Alibaba Cloud also inked an agreement with broadcast network ABS-CBN, a move that would strengthen the latter’s digital innovation capabilities.
“We want to expand our digital operations safely and efficiently to better serve Filipino audiences here and abroad. Alibaba Cloud, as a trusted cloud service provider with decades-long expertise and an established ecosystem of cloud-based platforms and services, empowers us to do that,” said Erwin Malimban, ABS-CBN head of broadcast technology.
