Digital enterprise solutions company ePLDT and PLDT Enterprise will be providing pharmaceutical company PascualLab a suite of office solutions “that will help address several work challenges.”

One of the pressing issues brought on by the multi-location of the pharmaceutical company’s offices is accessibility to data and people.

Office 365 is a suite of productivity tools, which allows users to work anytime, anywhere, and on any device. It boasts of communication solutions built for effective team collaboration — from email and IM (Instant Messaging) to social networking and video conferencing.

Delivering health and wellness products to communities has always been at the core of Pascual Laboratories Inc.’s (PascualLab) business operations for more than 70 years. To improve the way it produces, manufactures, and markets its products, PascualLab saw the need to redefine its internal processes to grow its business with better employee collaboration, to have a more secure sharing and storing of files, and to improve all-around productivity. The partnership with PLDT and ePLDT provided them with the solution.

End-to-end adoption

To educate PascualLab employees, ePLDT conducted the Office 365 Caravan in the company’s headquarters in Quezon City, at its manufacturing plant in Balagtas, Bulacan, and at its organic farm (the largest certified-organic farm by the Organic Certification Center of the Philippines) — Leonie Agri Corp. — in Nueva Ecija.

“Innovation is part of our core values but most of the innovation is at the manufacturing side of our business. The operations and services we have here in the main office should be on equal footing and of equal priority when it comes to innovation. This is where we need Office 365 the most,” said of Jappy Pascual, president and CEO of PascualLab.

With Microsoft Office 365, PascualLab’s processes and services will be delivered through the cloud to save time and resources, access business information and data in a secure platform, and revolutionize collaboration through business applications that employees are already familiar with.

“The workforce of today is evolving rapidly,” said Jovy Hernandez, SVP and head of Enterprise Groups at PLDT and Smart. “They are empowered, agile and dynamic and offer enormous potential for enterprises of all sizes. Through the right digital solutions, businesses can harness and utilize that potential. ”
