Globe taps Irish firm to improve network

MANILA, Philippines - Ayala-led Globe Telecom Inc. has tapped Dublin-based Nasc Technologies (Nasctech) to optimize and enhance the efficiency of its recently completed $790 million upgraded and transformed network.

Robert Tan, chief technical adviser of Globe, said in a statement that the global provider of field operation support system would help further improve network quality, enhance efficiency in its field operations and improve customer experience.

Under the partnership, Globe would utilize Nasctech’s Streamline solution to allow for a stronger degree of visibility and control over the management of its field operation resulting in reduced operating expenses.

“We selected Streamline to transform our field operations due to the uniqueness of the platform and the willingness of Nasctech to customize to our needs. They have demonstrated their commitment by deploying all necessary resources to deliver the project against aggressive timelines,” Tan stressed.

He pointed out that the move to tap Nasctech is in step with Globe’s transformation program covering the recently completed $700 million network modernization and the ongoing $90 million IT upgrade project.

Nasctech was incorporated in March 2010 in Dublin and develops innovative enterprise grade field operating expenses management solutions, targeted at the mobile telecoms sector.
