Globe Telecom launches new service

MANILA, Philippines - Globe Telecom has launched a new service that enables an “in-person” meeting experience for interaction and collaboration across multiple locations around the world in real time.

The new service, called Globe Telepresence, allows enterprises to connect to colleagues and partners all over the world using full high-definition screens with spatial audio. It gives the experience of being in the same room although meeting participants could be halfway across the globe, and allows face-to-face meetings across a virtual table, for critical discussions and negotiations where facial reactions are discernable for clarity and effective communications.

This innovation includes a 24-hour concierge service for easy set-up as simple as making a phone call. It features an online booking facility to schedule the Globe Telepresence public room in Makati City, and provides management and real-time support services so that meetings can start promptly and proceed smoothly.

“We continue to bring advanced solutions to enterprises that would address their evolving business needs, Today’s business environment moves very fast and enterprises are focused on driving down costs. We can help get things done at a moment’s notice and cut travel expenses too with the new Globe Telepresence,” Globe Business head Gil Genio said.

At the same time, it mitigates risks from disasters, terrorism and pandemic that may involve travel. Globe Telepresence helps speed up decision-making and significantly contributes to uninterrupted business operations. Financial savings and increased productivity are the biggest benefits achieved in using Globe Telepresence, he added.

Meanwhile, Globe Business enterprise segments head Jesus Romero pointed out that with its reliable network for 24x7 international connectivity, Globe Telepresence will connect enterprises to more telepresence rooms globally than any other provider in the Philippine market today. “Telepresence has been gaining popularity and growing rapidly across the globe as it offers quality business meetings in a conducive venue,” Romero said.

Globe Business brings the best telepresence experience in the country as it revolutionizes the way businesses and other customers in the Philippines can exchange information on a global scale. Globe selected AT&T for its expertise in successfully building and managing networks around the world. Globe Telepresence connects enterprises to other businesses, educational institutions, and other users of the AT&T Business Exchange, a feature of AT&T Telepresence Solution, representing more than 1,100 private and public telepresence rooms.
