SMEs go digital with right ICT tools from Globe myBusiness

MANILA, Philippines -  Running a business is one challenging journey to success. Owners of a small or medium enterprise (SME) need to check every step to make sure everything falls into place, every transaction covered, and every branch secure.

Thus, call of duty entails them to sacrifice time, effort, money, and more. They need to be connected to their business round-the-clock, so they barely have time for their family and themselves. That is why they need a partner to help him run their business with the same passion — one who is not just there to support him, but truly grasps their needs.

As everyone embraces a digital lifestyle, running a business is turning into a journey that SMEs can enjoy, as long as they have the right partner and tools.  That is why Globe myBusiness works closely with SMEs, understanding the demands of their businesses and day-to-day lives by harnessing new technologies to provide customizable plans and innovative solutions to help them run their businesses efficiently and achieve success.

Through the Digital Lifestyle Expo held last August 22, at the SM Megamall Fashion Hall, SMEs are now more empowered by technology, with Globe myBusiness as their right partner with the right tools for business. It showcased various ICT offerings such as AdBlast, a text message sent to targeted SMEs based on their profiles who received an invite to visit the Globe myBusiness booth. Upon entering, they were asked to register through the Google Form Tool via Google Apps for Business. Afterwards, they were witness to other ICT innovations such as Globe Charge, TXTConnect, and CCTV bundles.

Globe senior vice president for myBusiness Martha Sazon said that, “As a company who understands the challenges SMEs undergo and helps see them through towards growth, Globe myBusiness provides the ICT tools to help run their businesses efficiently, designed to help address their specific needs and to make their journey a whole lot easier. Through our customizable plans and services, entrepreneurs can operate their businesses more efficiently 24/7.”

For SMEs to constantly monitor their branches and stores, Globe myBusiness offers CCTV bundles with full office connectivity so they can run their business anywhere, hassle-free. The bundles come with fast and reliable data speeds of up to 5mbps, 4-port modem, landline, unlimited calls to Globe and TM, and a CCTV camera for as low as P1,897. SMEs can now keep an eye on their stores, contact their employees and respond in real-time to customers.  

Globe myBusiness also featured Globe Charge, tapping the power of a smartphone which turns into a mobile point-of-sale (POS) payment device. This convenient solution helps boost retail activity and ensures that SMEs can close every deal – anytime, anywhere.

The benefits of TXTConnect were also featured, allowing businesses and brands to disseminate information such as promo details and event invites to their customers and employees by transmitting an official text message to large groups. With TXTConnect, SMEs can boost work efficiencies, increase its scope and communicate in real time through basic telecommunications services.
