As the corporate markets experience pressure to operate nationwide, their rapid digital transformation, which is ironically brought about by the pandemic, has opened new opportunities for unprecedented revenue growth. Their key infrastructure requisite is a seamless and uninterrupted broadband service connectivity with discriminatory quality of service. NOW’s corporate broadband connectivity which proved successful in Metro Manila and certain areas in Calabarzon paves the way for its expansion in key cities nationwide.

“If a company’s profile operates like our current corporate clients that demand strict service level agreements (SLA), then that company fits our target potential. NOW aims to be their primary or secondary broadband provider,” says Mr. Henry Andrews B. Abes, newly appointed NOW President and CEO.

NOW Corporation, in partnership with NOW Telecom Company, Inc., has announced that its gigabit broadband service will be made available in key cities nationwide.

Second, the upcoming elections next year shall support the economic growth as spending will increase. Lastly, as more people get inoculated, consumer spending is also expected to improve -a welcome boon to the corporate sector.

“All these economic factors shall spur the demand of gigabit broadband services especially in key cities outside of Metro Manila. Our strategy is to first go after the corporate, enterprise, and government market segments. This market segment is more discriminatory when it comes to their broadband connection and being able to serve this market segment shall allow NOW to cement its presence in economic growth areas. We will expand where the growth is,” says Mr. Abes.

Mr. Abes added, “we have been providing broadband connectivity to critical industries such as banking, healthcare, government, industrial economic zones, and even to logistics. All these industries rely on broadband connectivity in order to continue their services during this time of pandemic. Through our partnership with our telecom affiliate, NOW Telecom, we aim to deliver this ‘gigabit broadband revolution’ nationwide especially at this time when broadband is needed the most.”
