Globe Group, Google team up to digitalize elderly in #SeniorDigizen campaign

Google is supporting the Globe Group in its #SeniorDigizen campaign, which aims to equip the elderly with tech knowledge they can use in daily life.

In the campaign kickoff happening on January 25, Google is providing crucial support for Globe’s “Senior Digizen: Teach Me How to Digi,” a free learning session on the use of vital mobile apps and online safety.

At the learning session, Google Telco Sales Coach Odel Hernandez will walk participating seniors through creating a Gmail account and using its safety features. Email accounts are commonly used in signing in to other apps and digital tools.

“We are grateful to have Google with us in our advocacy to bring Filipino seniors into the digital age. This is a huge challenge, and through the power of collaboration, we will be able to help seniors enjoy the life-enabling benefits of technology and keep them safer online,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, Globe Group. 

Globe Group’s Cascadeo embarks on AI centricity in 2024

Globe Group’s Cascadeo is going all out on AI this year, a strategic decision signifying its commitment to remaining at the forefront of an ever-evolving technological landscape to better serve its customers.

Cascadeo leverages more than 17 years of industry experience in cloud engineering and operations to embrace AI, “the single most important invention of our lifetime,” said Founder and Chief Technology Officer Jared Reimer.

"In 2024, we will embark on a transformative journey from being a cloud-centric organization to becoming AI-centric.

Globe Group’s Cascadeo champions future of business with AI adoption

Jared Reimer, Cascadeo Founder
and Chief Technology Officer,
says AI is “the biggest
invention of our lifetime.”

Cascadeo, the Globe Group’s elite cloud-managed and professional services company, is at the forefront of pushing for integration of Artificial Intelligence in business operations with cloud as the enabling platform, as the technology continues to radically evolve the way the world works.

Cascadeo's Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Jared Reimer, recently emphasized the significance of these technologies in two insightful podcast interviews.

During his appearance on the Enterprise Podcast Network (EPN), Reimer pointed out the inevitable surge in cloud adoption driven by the complexities and demands of AI.

“You need to be cloud first. You need to be cloud native. You need to build cloud muscle memory and skill, either in-house or with a partner, because that is the foundation for all of the enterprise AI that’s to come,” he said.

This is especially true as AI platforms, particularly generative AI, are built on top of the cloud as its foundation. Cloud migration is an imperative in AI adoption, and a company that fails to do both will be at a major disadvantage.
