As companies continue to regain their foothold amid industry recovery, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations are gearing up to catapult their businesses and explore more opportunities in the new normal.

Anchoring on the lessons from the health crisis and the digital foundation they have established during the shift, business owners are prepared now more than ever to accelerate their growth, putting customer experience at the forefront of their businesses.

In a recent gathering for their customers entitled Converge Business: Discover The Next, Converge President and Co-Founder Grace Y. Uy stressed that digitalization and connectivity are enablers of success especially in difficult times. Converge Business is the company’s umbrella brand offering secure pure fiber solutions for SME’s, larger enterprises, and wholesale.

“(We) know how difficult it is to run a business, especially now. The macroeconomic environment is not ideal – we have continuing inflationary pressures, a weakening currency, and borrowing costs are rising. However, digitalization has also opened a new world of opportunities for all of us. We now have access to more information and the world market that was not possible before. With the right tools and partnerships, we can all breakthrough the challenges and come out more successful than before,” she shared.

From just being in survival mode at the onset of the pandemic, businesses are now more confident to explore their potential and pursue more advanced digital capabilities to leap forward.

“We continue to listen very closely to our customers and make sure that we’re looking at developments in technology and trends, thinking about all of the drivers that we need to consider when we try to develop products and services that would address the needs of all of our segments. Our main goal has always been to give Filipinos value for money at the best possible level of service,” shared Mr. Romero.

“Our vision is to make Filipinos, businesses, and our nation to be the best through fiber connectivity. When we do this, it makes us all very competitive. So to us it’s not just about laying down fiber, it’s about getting our people and our country to a level where we become competitive, where we become a hub and where the prosperity of the Filipinos will continually improve over time.” Mr. Romero closed.
