Globe implements Oracle solutions to achieve fivefold revenue growth target

MANILA, Philippines -- Aiming to achieve its goal of gaining quintuple revenue growth over the next five years, local telco giant Globe Telecom announced of implementing technology solutions to support its critical and demanding business requirements.

Now serving more than 32 million subscribers in the country, Globe targets to leverage the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) project to support its vision.

Globe selected Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud for Business Transformation. The integrated solutions promise to enable Globe's business support systems (BSS) and operations support systems (OSS).

Henry Aguda, Chief Information Officer of Globe Telecom, said the solutions will support the carrier’s ongoing initiative to drive better integration of legacy systems and third-party applications and enable re-usable service-based connectivity in a heterogeneous IT environment.

"We hope to offer our customers products and services that are relevant to them based on their needs. In our world today where change is inevitable because of changing markets, rules, and regulations, this is usually expensive and hard to implement," Aguda said. "However, our goal of flexibility and agility can be achieved if we have an enterprise architecture that will allow us to adapt to changes faster and drive operational costs down." 

Aguda added the project makes Globe's vision possible by implementing a solution that promotes Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

"With this solution, we hope to address the challenges that a lot of companies face today if their IT and organizations operate in silos," Aguda said.

Before the deployment of the ESB project, Globe faced a range of business and IT challenges such as lack of flexibility to adapt to the changing business requirements and keep pace with rapid business growth, and inability to scale up systems performance to address large and unexpected spikes in workload demand.
