PLDT SME Nation, Smart whip up Cebu Storm launch

Packaging entrepreneurial necessities with mobility, PLDT SME Nation and Smart Corporate Business group launched the BlackBerry Storm in Cebu recently to provide entrepreneurs mobile ICT solutions.

As the need to become more mobile arises, the BlackBerry Storm unit, which comes for free under the Smart Plan 3500, affords entrepreneurs the competitive edge of being productive even out of the office.

PLDT SME Nation Marketing Head Amil Azurin said amid an economic crisis, small and medium enterprises have always been optimistic and continue to “persevere” and are determined to see growth.

“SMEs are starting to invest in technology to support their expansion plans. They turn technology into profit which in turn reduces their cost and increase market reach and efficiency.”

The SME sector employs 70 per cent of the labor force and contributes 32 per cent to the country’s gross domestic product. “The business sector, especially the younger generation, are more wiling to incorporate technology in their business since they understand the cost-efficiency it can generate,” said PLDT SME Nation Vice President and head Kat Luna-Abelarde. Smart Corporate Business Group Marketing Head Chet Alviz attests that, the BlackBerry’s new model will help its users get connected anytime and anywhere, and will fit the needs of today’s entrepreneurs.

The BlackBerry Storm integrates PLDT SME Nation business solutions like the PLDT Watcher, where live video feed from the IP camera device can be directly viewed from the phone.

Aside from being a mobile email device, the BlackBerry Storm also packs in a global positioning system, multimedia functions, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and mobile streaming, to name a few. For more info on what PLDT SME Nation can offer your business, visit www.pldtsme-nation.com.ph.
