NOW Corporation announced pioneering broadband service that offers large enterprises high-speed Internet access through the air or underground at guaranteed speed coupled with IT solutions and services. Its announcement came at a time wherein large enterprises such as banks, universities, hospitals, logistics, insurance and retail are looking at Information Technology as a strategic enabler in order to meet their business goals. NOW Corporation offers broadband connectivity from 50Mbps to 700Mbps to large enterprises – a service that is faster to deploy as a back-up system and/or an affordable alternative being offered by encumbent Internet service providers.
Since early 2000, NOW Corp. has been providing high-value IT Services such as enterprise-grade email collaboration (on-premise and cloud), technical maintenance, web development, mobile apps development and customized software development for large enterprise. It has served blue chip companies including Towers Watson, UCPB, Coca-Cola, SC Johnson, International Shared Services, Roxas Holdings, BDO, Chinabank, Philippine National Bank, Skycable, Development Bank of the Philippines, Goldern Arches Development Corporation (McDonalds), Phinma Group of Companies and SM Retail. It has built and maintained its position as one of the most trusted IT companies in the Philippines and has expanded to broadband and other services related to it.
NOW Corp.’s IT networking solutions and services clients are provided with 50Mbps up to 700Mbps guaranteed connectivity, and can even provide FREE initial network infrastructure assessment for potential signups. It also provides network infrastructure implementation services such as bandwidth management system, in-building wiring, installation of wi-fi hotspots and other vital IT services including private/public cloud services, hybrid cloud on-premise applications, outsourced network management services, system back-up and recovery, mobile apps for business processes and Internet of Things.
NOW caters to the IT needs of those in the real-estate sector, targeting property managers and real-estate developers that operate BPO/KPO buildings and other similar high-end commercial and mix-use establishments with sophisticated broadband connectivity needs. The BPO market is expected to surpass the OFW remittance by the end of 2016 with a projected revenue of about $25 billion dollars. Real estate developers and property owners must be ready to accommodate the influx of BPO locators – majority of which have huge bandwidth requirements and highly customisable network. Upgrading an existing building to become BPO-ready is key if the property owner/real estate developer wants to get a share of the growing BPO industry.
Kristian Pura, Head of Enterprise Marketing of NOW Corp., said that at this day and age, companies should consider IT as an important element of the business’ overall marketing and business strategies and not just an “on the side” thing.
“The role of IT is just as important as marketing, business development, procurement/purchasing and everything that needs sound business decision making. Enterprise and business owners must see IT as part of an over-all strategy. IT should be able to propel the growth of the business, streamline its operations, and add over-all value to the firm.”
