As the country’s largest business-led NGO, the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) continues to strengthen its commitment to reducing poverty in today’s highly digitalized world through a partnership with PLDT Group’s ICT subsidiary, ePLDT. By adopting ePLDT’s cloud technology, PBSP aims to enhance its business continuity framework and ensure that critical information remains secure and accessible, even during disruptions.
Under the partnership, ePLDT deployed Alibaba Cloud storage and backup solutions to help PBSP securely and efficiently manage large volumes of data and maintain workflows necessary for creating sustainable solutions to societal problems in health, education, environment, livelihood, and enterprise development.
The shift to a cloud-first infrastructure also puts PBSP in a better position to respond quickly to the needs of marginalized communities, especially during emergencies and disasters when access to reliable data is crucial for saving lives.
“Whether delivering healthcare in remote areas, responding to natural disasters, supporting schools, or enabling livelihood programs, we must be able to work without disruption. Through ePLDT’s services and the deployment of Alibaba Cloud, PBSP is assured of the support and tools needed to maintain seamless operations no matter the challenges,” said PBSP Executive Director Elvin Ivan Y. Uy.
Access to a scalable and resilient platform that supports real-time collaboration, backup automation, and secure data access from anywhere in the country is vital for PBSP as it operates across diverse and often vulnerable communities.
By adopting a cost-effective cloud-based solution, instead of investing in heavy infrastructure, PBSP is also able to free up expenditures and allocate more resources to its core community programs.
“ePLDT has been supportive of PBSP’s initiatives to uplift the lives of Filipinos. This partnership gives us the opportunity to provide further assistance in the work they do. The deployment of Alibaba Cloud’s storage and backup solutions ensures that PBSP’s data is always protected and accessible, enabling them to fully focus on serving communities,” said Victor S. Genuino, President and CEO of ePLDT.
ePLDT has built a reputation as a trusted digital transformation partner and expert in cloud technology. The company is the first Premium Partner of Alibaba Cloud in the Philippines and was recently presented with an Alibaba Cloud Tech Trailblazer Award, a distinction given to organizations that lead the way in upskilling through the highest engagement in Alibaba Cloud training sessions.
“Receiving the Alibaba Cloud Tech Trailblazer Award highlights our commitment to continuously enhance our cloud expertise through rigorous training and hands-on implementation,” Genuino added. “We are proud to bring this level of skill and service to PBSP, ensuring they have the digital foundation to deliver impact at scale.”
