Globe IG boosts companies, SMEs’ Competitive Advantage with real M2M Solutions
Montelibano: Globe applies a holistic approach to M2M, providing competitive advantage to customers.
One of its executives shared that the networking of machines and devices are already evident in everyday living, connecting and enabling a vast array of equipment – from enterprise servers to everyday products – to obtain data and insights about the status of an asset. He shared these facts as the ICT arm of Globe Telecom recently sponsored conferences in the Philippines which were attended by heads and managers of supply chain, purchasing, logistics, materials, procurement and warehousing.
“In 2008, the number of people on earth was exceeded by the number of things connected to the Internet. And by ‘things,’ we mean more than just smartphones and tablets. By 2020, there will be about 50 to 75 billion connected devices around the world,” said JD Montelibano, Globe IG Head of Product Management for Business Applications.
He added that, “these numbers are spurred by the expanding wireless network coverage worldwide, providing necessary bandwidth for everything to be connected and creating a critical mass of mainstream use. For Globe, the new rule for the future is that, anything that can be connected will be connected. Thus, we are ushering in a new era of ‘Telco 2.0’ by providing industries with best-in-breed solutions beyond our core services, such as M2M.”
M2M regional demand: “Asia, where the Philippines is an emerging player, is the largest regional M2M market accounting for 42% of global M2M connections, followed by Europe at 28%; North America at 18%; Latin America, 8%; Africa, 4%; and Oceania, 1%;” he said, quoting the GSM Association or the GSMA which represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide.
As a telco company, Globe is a founding member of Bridge Alliance, the region’s largest machine-to-machine alliance today, a one-stop-shop experience for M2M deployment across the Asia Pacific region and the center of excellence for M2M services and solutions. Montelibano commented that, “with Philippine organizations now operating in a global setting, especially with the onset of the Asean Economic Cooperation, they can hurdle the challenges of blurred geographical advantages, compromised proprietary technologies and increasing difficulties in breakthrough innovations in products and services.”
Montelibano also noted that, as key supply chains become more complex, companies and SMEs face a myriad of challenges involving data handling, delays and inefficiencies, as well as human limitations. They now contend with various measures to keep up with the pace of their businesses, which may compromise productivity, cost and safety of assets to name a few.
“M2M is all about taking more control over assets, as it enables remote surveillance, 24/7 support and reducing costs as well as operating expenses. But above and beyond these, its greatest benefit is providing the competitive advantage to companies as well as SMEs in terms of business analytics, spanning standard access and reporting, to analytics, which allow statistical analysis, forecasting and extrapolation, predictive modeling, and until optimization,” told Globe Vice President for IG Rey Lugtu.
Globe advantage on M2M: The wide mobile and broadband network of Globe, he pointed out, makes it possible for businesses to maximize the three key features of M2M, which is optimization through real-time monitoring and maintenance, transitioning from “preventive” to “predictive;” efficiencies by eliminating delays, excessive overtime charges and accident-related incidents; as well as security through proactive alerts and faster reaction time to theft and pilferage.
“The entire degree of intelligence runs the gamut of analytics which will be the key to supply chain optimization. Customers can harness data into information, which can lead them to insight and action,” Lugtu emphasized. He also asserted that the Globe approach to M2M is “holistic,” involving the user, subscribed M2M devices, its modernized network and state-of-the art Network Operations Center. These are all backed by the telco’s stamp of credibility on accessibility, storage capability, flexible plans and 24/7 managed services.

Globe and its subsidiary Electronic Commerce Philippines Inc. (ECPAY), together with leading supermarket chain Puregold, are ramping up the rollout of the Aling Puring app to uplift and digitalize micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), especially sari-sari stores.
The new mobile service offers Tindahan ni Aling Puring (TNAP) members a one-stop-shop for digital transactions such as cash-in, load, and bills payment. TNAP is Puregold’s loyalty and membership program for resellers.
Powered and developed by ECPay, the Aling Puring app enables MSMEs to keep up with the changing business landscape and thrive in a digital economy.
The move supports the two companies’ continuous efforts to be a partner of MSMEs in recovering from the pandemic.
“Puregold has been a big part of sari-sari stores in building their businesses through the years. It is our advocacy to continuously support them in achieving their aspirations for themselves and their families. Sa lahat ng aming Ka-Asenso, nasa inyo ang panalo!” said Antonio Delos Santos II, Puregold’s VP for Operations.
“We are a proud partner of Puregold and we share the same purpose of helping MSMEs and contributing to nation-building through digitalization,” said Cleo Santos, Globe Channel Management Head.
“As part of the Globe Group, we are one with the thrust of helping pivot not only customers but even our channels into digital. And Puregold is one of our pioneer partners in digitalizing sari-sari stores.” said Jasmin Montelibano, President and CEO of ECPay.
To keep pace in a constantly evolving business world, the digitalization of MSMEs has become more critical than ever. Through the Aling Puring app, Puregold is able to support the growth of the sector by offering additional income opportunities through digital services.
Created in May last year, the app is currently being rolled out in different Puregold branches across the country. It was launched at the recent opening of Puregold’s Mango Cebu branch where around 75 sari-sari store owners joined a salu-salo or get-together aimed at onboarding more stores onto the platform.
Globe and Puregold are long-time partners in advocating for the digital empowerment of Filipinos to prepare them for a digitally-enabled future.

When schools closed and the pandemic pushed education to remote learning, we knew that students would pay a heavy price. True enough, a 2021 research showed that 86% of students believed that they learned less under remote learning. 66% of those who attend classes virtually and 74% under hybrid learning were also no better mainly because of one reason: lack of innovative and technology-driven solutions to support these set-ups.
This troubling reality didn’t cause learners to falter, because Globe believes that it brought out the best of us, and we can see these inspiring stories every day.
As part of its commitment to uplift education through technology, Globe launches Heroes of Learning Awards, a search to honor modern-day heroes who shined bright or became a light for others amid obstacles. The awards will spotlight their inspiring journeys and support them further by equipping them with the relevant e-learning tools they need.
Students, educators, and parents are eligible to join, to be judged according to the following criteria: students must exemplify academic excellence, courage, and innovation. Parents must epitomize courage and innovation as well, while educators must demonstrate excellence in teaching, courage, and innovation.
More than just a trophy, chosen Heroes of Learning will be hailed as Globe for Education ambassadors and will take home Php 50,000 in GCash credits, Samsung Galaxy AO3 Blue 64GB loaded with P5,000 worth of Globe Prepaid credits, 12-month subscription to GFiber Unli Plan, Globe MyFi LTE, and on top of that, KodeGo full course scholarship worth Php 80,000, free 8-session tutorials with Edventure, and two e-passes to Ayala Museum.
Nominations and entries will be accepted on or before April 30, 2023. Announcement of winners will be via a private Zoom event on May 18, 2023.
Submit your entries or nominations now. Visit www.glbe.co/heroesoflearning for more details. Per DTI Fair Trade Permit No. FTEB-161107 Series of 2023.
