Singapore – Aiming to enhance its network and security infrastructure, aviation and airline firm Philippine Airlines has recently announced that it has collaborated with Singapore telco and MSSP firm ViewQwest. This strategic initiative aims to implement next-generation network and security technologies across Philippine-based sites and branches.
It will further use a managed service framework to ensure optimum service levels, which is important to the seamless operation of the country’s largest international airline.
These enhancements will then improve network performance and business resilience, establishing a strong foundation for the airline’s digital transformation and continued innovation.
Furthermore, the said partnership was finalised during an executive briefing and project team assembly attended by senior technical and business leaders from PAL and ViewQwest, together with key stakeholders and project heads, gathered for the occasion.
The partnership was formalised by Aurea Patria Vidal, chief information officer, and Angelique Tinsay, vice president of IT operations at Philippine Airlines, alongside Vignesa Moorthy, chief executive officer, and Jurist Francisco, chief operating officer at ViewQwest.
PAL is positioned to reap extensive advantages from the upgraded network and security infrastructure. The consolidated network and security operations will provide improved visibility, control, and security of the network.
This will allow the company’s IT teams to focus on key business operations and high-value strategic initiatives while also being assured of consistent threat protection.
Speaking about the collaboration, Vignesa Moorthy, chief executive officer at ViewQwest, said, “We take great pride in supporting Philippine Airlines in their network and security transformation journey. We applaud their strategic foresight to construct a network that prioritises security from the ground up as well as embracing managed services, freeing their teams to concentrate on driving business growth rather than managing infrastructure.”
“This strategic multi-year partnership cements ViewQwest’s presence in the Philippines and demonstrates our commitment to empower leading Philippine companies,” added Vignessa.
Aurea Vidal, chief information officer at Philippine Airlines, further said, “Whenever possible, we will seek a tailored approach for PAL’s IT needs, so we are pleased to partner with ViewQwest, whose proven track record of custom solutions perfectly aligns with our strategic principles. By embracing a cloud-based infrastructure that is secure by design, we can amplify collaboration, enable business agility, and ensure business continuity.”
