Globe Business Encourages Enterprises to Move Beyond Traditional BCPs with Multi-Layered Resilience Strategies

From cloud infrastructure to seamless satellite-to-mobile connectivity via Starlink, organizations are building absolute operational continuity.

As organizations revisit their Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) amid growing operational, infrastructure, and cybersecurity risks, Globe Business, the enterprise arm of Globe, is encouraging enterprises to move beyond traditional, single-point BCPs and adopt holistic, multi-layered resilience strategies. These approaches help ensure that critical systems, communications, and operations remain available even during unexpected disruptions.

Historically, BCPs are centered on redundant connectivity and data recovery capabilities. Today disruptions can extend far beyond technology systems, affecting how employees communicate, how operations are coordinated, and how quickly organizations can respond to changing conditions.

One of the biggest challenges organizations face during disruptions is maintaining reliable communications when local infrastructure is affected. To help address this need, Globe Business has integrated Globe Starlink into its enterprise resilience portfolio. The satellite-powered connectivity solution provides organizations with an additional layer of communication that can support operations when terrestrial infrastructure is temporarily unavailable due to natural disasters, power interruptions, or other localized disruptions.

“Business continuity today is about ensuring organizations can continue operating and communicating during disruptions,” said Marlon Cruz, Globe Business Assistant Vice President. “Many companies have already strengthened their cloud and cybersecurity capabilities, but maintaining connectivity when local infrastructure is affected remains a challenge.”

Unlike traditional satellite services that require dedicated equipment or specialized devices, Globe Starlink enables compatible LTE smartphones to connect to satellite coverage when terrestrial networks are unavailable. This capability can help organizations support business-critical communications, particularly for personnel operating in remote locations or areas affected by service disruptions where reliable connectivity is essential.

The growing importance of communication resilience is prompting organizations across industries to reassess how they approach business continuity. Beyond protecting data and applications, enterprises are looking at ways to ensure employees, field teams, and decision-makers remain connected during periods of disruption.

For logistics and supply chain companies, maintaining communication with field personnel and drivers during severe weather events or network outages can be critical to keeping operations moving. Additional connectivity options can help support coordination across delivery routes, warehouses, and command centers while minimizing potential disruptions to customers and partners.

Financial institutions can benefit from enhanced communication resilience that helps key personnel remain connected during localized outages. Reliable communications support timely decision-making, operational continuity, and customer service, particularly during situations that require rapid response and coordination.

Meanwhile, construction and real estate companies often manage projects across multiple locations, including remote or developing areas where connectivity may be limited. Satellite-enabled communications can help field teams coordinate activities, share updates, and maintain visibility across project sites using devices they already carry.

As organizations continue to strengthen their business continuity strategies, resilience is becoming an enterprise-wide priority that extends beyond data protection and disaster recovery. Connectivity, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and workforce communications all play important roles in helping businesses remain operational during periods of disruption.

By advancing breakthrough capabilities like satellite connectivity into its managed, enterprise-grade suite of ICT solutions, Globe Business is helping local organizations move past traditional backup limitations. Today’s BCP is no longer just about recovering from a disruption, it is about ensuring the business never stops.

Globe Business forged a landmark alliance with Confluent, the global leader in data streaming, to set a new standard for digital agility and innovation in the Philippines. This collaboration represents a fundamental shift in the nation’s digital economy, moving enterprises beyond the limitations of static, siloed data toward a future of real-time intelligence. By introducing a fully managed, enterprise-grade data streaming platform, Globe Business and Confluent are providing the “central nervous system” required to orchestrate the next generation of innovation. This enables elevated customer experiences, reimagined enterprise value chains to drive the country’s transition into a sovereign, AI-first economy.

“As a Managed Service Provider (MSP), Globe Business removes the barriers to advanced data architecture. It will deliver Confluent’s complete platform—including unified Apache Kafka® and Apache Flink®—as a turnkey service running on Globe’s local Virtual Private Cloud.” Enterprises, particularly those in highly regulated sectors, can now modernize their internal processes and leverage global-standard data-in-motion capabilities while reducing their Kafka’s total cost of ownership by up to 40%.

“At Globe, our mission extends beyond connectivity; we are committed to building the digital backbone of a future-ready nation,” said KD Dizon, Vice President and Head of Globe Business. “This partnership is a critical step in our nation-building journey, as we lead the way in intelligent transformation, allowing Filipino enterprises to innovate at scale and move at the speed of their customers. By providing a secure and compliant foundation for real-time intelligence, we are catalyzing a more resilient and digitally competitive Philippines.”

As digital retail payments in the Philippines account for 57.4% of total transaction volume according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the ability to process data the moment it is generated has become a baseline for survival. Whether it is facilitating instant fraud detection in financial services or enabling retail brands to trigger personalized engagement the moment a customer interacts with a digital storefront, the goal is to make every transaction feel intuitive and effortless for the end-user.

Data streaming serves as the essential foundation for Agentic AI and autonomous decision-making. Recent Confluent research indicates that 58% of APAC organizations view data streaming as a primary enabler for AI. By feeding AI models with live, trusted enterprise data, this partnership allows systems to become predictive engines that can anticipate market shifts and customer needs.

“Our collaboration with Globe Business gives enterprises in the Philippines access to the same real-time data capabilities used by the world’s most demanding, digital-first organization,” said Kamal Brar, Senior Vice President of Global ISV at Confluent. “By running on Globe’s secure, local cloud, we are providing a trusted foundation for businesses to build their next generation of AI-driven customer experiences. Together, we are making it possible for organizations to operationalize real-time intelligence at scale and deliver the high-impact digital services that modern consumers demand.”

Globe’s deep understanding of local enterprise needs, paired with its nationwide network and cloud capabilities, makes it uniquely positioned to lead this space. The new offering also integrates seamlessly with Globe Premium Cloud Connect, fostering connectivity across private and public cloud environments to ensure a unified and future-proof data strategy for every Filipino enterprise.
