ePLDT: Handholding Businesses through Cloud Transformation Journey

Cloud is the go-to approach for most organizations today. However, any firm moving to the cloud first deliberates, “How to start?” Once migrated, the next question is “How to sustain?” Another major concern that troubles these organizations is marrying business objectives with the right cloud strategy. Philippines-based ePLDT understands such complexities involved in cloud migrations and provides a simplified approach to the enterprise customers, making cloud work for them.

“Whether they are at the experimentation, migration, or transformation stage, we provide the right solution ensuring that the cloud will work accordingly, aligned to the customers’ business objectives,” remarks Nerissa S. Ramos, ePLDT Group Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The company differentiates itself from other cloud service providers by handholding its customers throughout their digital and cloud transformation journey. The ePLDT team develops an understanding of the clients’ business objectives, analyzes their existing capabilities and technology investments, and thereafter drafts a cloud transformation roadmap considering their budget.

ePLDT has expanded its cloud services portfolio through its partnership with other hyperscale cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure, on top of its own local cloud infrastructure.

The company sets itself apart at a competitive level through its cloud services portfolio which encompasses managed, hybrid, and end-to-end value to customers. ePLDT delivers extensive support for consulting, migration, and systems operations through managed services, allowing the clients to focus on their core tasks. The hybrid services, on the other hand, provide the correct underlying infrastructure that best fits the customer’s workloads. Lastly, the end-to-end services allow organizations to see the whole spectrum of an optimal cloud solution.

The company also extends specialized support through in-house cloud experts and tools to manage different cloud products in a synchronized manner that supports the customers’ business objectives. Considering “one cloud does not fit all,” ePLDT provides public, private, hybrid, and community cloud services to suit each client’s specific requirements. The firm’s continuous investment in cloud technology, expertise, and multi-cloud management aspects that range from pre-migration to onboarding and day-to-day management of a multi-cloud environment benefits its clients in taking full advantage of solutions that are designed for them.

ePLDT also brings trailblazing experience in providing cybersecurity, data center, and managed IT services. While the company brings the expertise to protect IT infrastructure from evolving threats, malicious software attacks, possible data loss, and reputational risks, it also boasts of the country’s first purposely-built TIA-942 Rated-3 Design Internet data centers with ISO, PCI-DSS, Nexcenter and PEZA certifications. These solutions are complemented by its managed IT services that help clients maintain and increase operational efficiency. “True to its mission, ePLDT is committed to enabling customer success not just in deploying relevant technologies but throughout their digital transformation journey,” concludes Nerisse.
