MOBILE NETWORK operator Globe Telecom, Inc. has successfully transferred on Monday the bulk of its technology infrastructure to cloud service provider Amazon Web Systems, Inc. (AWS), in a bid to accelerate the former’s digital transformation and improve customer experience.
AWS is a subsidiary of American multinational technology company Amazon.
In a statement, Globe said that it was able to migrate its contact center operations, customer analytics, network and service assurance systems, infrastructure operations, monitoring, and security, from its on-premises data centers to AWS. It added that it continues to transfer applications to AWS to modernize its infrastructure and services. Although he did not give the exact percentage of the infrastructure that was moved to AWS, Globe’s Chief Information officer Carlomagno E. Malana told reporters in a Monday press briefing that there was “definitely a clear majority.”
