Globe, a telecommunications service provider in the Philippines, and Red Hat, an American software company, collaborate to modernize Globe’s IT infrastructure with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs for agility, scalability, and innovation.
During the Open Innovations Lab residency, Globe’s engineers worked closely with Red Hat to integrate open source technologies, including Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes to help Globe tackle challenges in operational efficiency, developer productivity, observability, upskilling and cross-team collaboration.
This collaboration allowed the Globe teams to move the first application modules to Red Hat OpenShift quickly. They also learned to use its features fully, formed a cross-functional team, and established new operational processes. This set the stage for scaling up the platform and migrating the first full application to Red Hat OpenShift within the next six months.
Raul Macatangay, chief information officer of Globe, said, “Our collaboration with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs has been instrumental in our digital transformation journey. By adopting Red Hat OpenShift as a new enterprise-wide application development platform, we’re able to innovate quicker with a key focus on customer experience. This collaboration has ignited a change in Globe’s culture, fostering greater teamwork and allowing us to bring the best ideas forward to innovate faster.”
Marjet Andriesse, senior vice president and general manager of Red Hat APJC commented, “Globe’s engagement with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs has been pivotal in enhancing its technological capabilities and service offerings. By leveraging Red Hat’s open-source solutions, including Red Hat OpenShift, Globe has modernized its IT environment, enabling greater agility and scalability. This engagement demonstrates Globe’s dedication to innovation and its effort to adopt advanced technologies to deliver high-quality services to its customers.”
