PLDT and Smart, through its B2B arm PLDT Enterprise, have officially launched their newest digital offering called the Internet of Possibilities by PLDT and Smart which aims to open up new possibilities for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and deployment among enterprises and consumers in the country.
During the Philippine Digital Convention 2021, PLDT Enterprise Core Business Solutions FVP and Head Jojo Gendrano introduced PLDT Group’s latest solution—a first in the country—to help push IoT solutions further across different industries.
“We are very excited that we are finally bringing the power of IoT to businesses in the Philippines as we see a huge opportunity to leverage the power of this technology. It’s a powerful tool that is set to transform the way Internet of Things applications are deployed and managed in the country,” said Gendrano.
The Internet of Possibilities by PLDT and Smart is a unified platform for the effective management of connectivity and usage of a multitude of connected IoT devices within enterprises. It seamlessly integrates existing business processes into a common, open platform for data and insights that can be used to open unlimited business growth opportunities to various industries.
“Our thrust at PLDT Enterprise is to enable business growth and help companies make possible what we all thought was impossible. With its capabilities to simplify and optimize the deployment of IoT applications, the platform is set to transform the way businesses conduct their operations,” Gendrano shared.
The Internet of Possibilities by PLDT and Smart empowers industries by allowing full control, visibility, transparency, and self-care among their connected IoT devices. It is designed to give businesses more ways to be efficient with time and resources by improving business processes through automated workflows.
