The ‘digital factory’ is seen to help the business conglomerate with its digital requirements as well as improving efficiency through data
MANILA, Philippines – Kayana Solutions Incorporated, previously known as Digico, is working with New York-listed Accenture to build a “digital factory” for the MVP Group.
The group encompasses businesses in toll roads (Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, NLEX Corporation), telecommunications (PLDT), power (Manila Electric Company), water (Maynilad Water Services, Inc.), mining (Philex Mining Corporation), oil and gas (PXP Energy Corporation), and its hospital group (Metro Pacific Health), among others.
“All of them generate data that are collated, curated, and categorized. It can reveal what our customers want or need, and how best we can serve them,” Kayana Chairman and Chief Operating Officer Manual Pangilinan said on Monday, November 11.
“Each company is expected to build its own data to be able to share with Kayana so that we have a 360-degree view of institutions and individuals as well. So, the goal of Kayana, together with Accenture, is to establish a foundation upon which every company in the group can build, innovate and transform data… data in action supports for improving lives, enhancing efficiency and setting new standards for us.”
The “digital factory” is seen to help the business group with its digital requirements as well as improving efficiency through data. The platform will be opened to other groups and businesses once they gain experience.
Accenture was tapped for its expertise in creating data-and-AI-led customer experiences and in cloud-based solutions. Song — Accenture’s tech-powered creative group — will be in charge of brand strategy, product research, and user experience.
“The contract is expensive and has no termination date,” Pangilinan said, without further details as the briefing on their financial report comes a day later.
However, Kayana President Victorico Vargas did say that Accenture is the company’s “strategic delivery partner” for the product’s roadmap over the next five years.
“In addition to Accenture, we are pleased to announce a collaboration as well with our long-time shareholder in PLDT, NTT DoCoMo. They, along with other global players such as AWS and local conglomerates who we started talking to, like SMC, will help sharpen our strategies and bring our capabilities — as they say, watch us, watch this space,” said Vargas said. – Rappler.com
