Globe Business Davao Data Center to be Ready for Service by 2017

Growing exponentially, the information and communications technology (ICT) industry of Davao City will continue its upward trajectory ensuring economic development and providing employment opportunities in the region. Davao is the largest local economy of southern Philippines and second largest economy to Metro Manila.

Davao City was recognized in 2015 as the 66th information technology and business process-outsourcing (IT-BPO) destination of the top 100 IT-BPO destinations in the world. This underscores the maturity of the city and the greater Mindanao region of its ICT readiness and capability.

With that in mind, Globe Business keeps its commitment to enabling a digital nation by accelerating the adoption of ICT enabled services across Philippine enterprises, specifically those based in the southern region.
