Globe Business, a key driver in the Philippines' digital transformation, has announced its partnership with technology consulting firm Searce, launching Google Agentspace in the country. This innovative AI-powered platform aims to enhance enterprise productivity by simplifying workflows and integrating fragmented technologies.
According to recent findings, up to 89% of employees spend a significant amount of time searching through multiple sources daily, which often leads to inefficiencies and security concerns. Google Agentspace directly addresses these challenges by providing a unified platform that seamlessly connects with over 100 commonly used business applications.
Marlon Cruz, AVP for Business Solutions Consulting at Globe Business, emphasized the transformative potential of Google Agentspace. "This partnership represents a strategic alignment where we combine Globe Business' extensive enterprise relationships and local market understanding with Searce's deep expertise in cloud and AI solutions. Our goal is to ensure businesses not only adopt but maximize the use of AI technologies like Google Agentspace," Cruz said.
Google Agentspace, powered by Google's advanced Gemini AI technology, provides functionalities such as centralized search, automated task execution, content summarization, and AI-driven content creation. By integrating these advanced tools, businesses can streamline their operations, significantly reduce operational costs, and accelerate innovation.
Ferdie Saputil, Country Manager for Searce Philippines, highlighted the importance of responsible AI adoption through this collaboration. "Our partnership with Globe Business highlights our shared commitment to driving enterprise transformation through responsible AI adoption. Together, we ensure that Filipino companies leverage cutting-edge generative AI technology like Google Agentspace, and they are supported throughout the entire journey," Saputil stated.
The collaboration between Globe Business and Searce provides robust support throughout the entire adoption lifecycle, including onboarding, deployment, and continuous optimization. This comprehensive support system is designed to ensure that businesses derive sustainable and measurable value from the platform.
"We believe deeply in the concept of 'malasakit,' or deep customer care, as we assist enterprises in integrating AI solutions that precisely align with their unique operational needs and strategic goals," added Cruz.
Enterprise-grade security protocols further distinguish Google Agentspace, with Google's secure-by-design infrastructure ensuring privacy and compliance. Enhanced by Globe Business' strong network and local market knowledge, enterprises adopting Google Agentspace are expected to experience more agile, productive, and secure business operations.
Globe Business has positioned itself as a crucial facilitator for enterprises seeking to navigate complex digital landscapes, and its partnership with Searce amplifies this role. With technical guidance from Searce and comprehensive deployment support from Globe Business, Filipino enterprises can confidently integrate and leverage advanced AI capabilities.
This strategic launch marks a significant milestone in the Philippines' digital transformation journey, enabling local businesses to address future disruptions and drive innovation proactively. Enterprises across various sectors, such as BPO, retail, logistics, banking, and manufacturing, in particular, stand to benefit significantly from streamlined processes and improved decision-making capabilities.
"We are not just offering a new technology solution but are actively reshaping how enterprises approach productivity and workflow management," Saputil concluded. "Together with Globe Business, we are committed to ensuring that Filipino enterprises thrive in the era of AI."
