MANILA, Philippines — Globe Business has launched its Managed Data Streaming Platform in partnership with Confluent, establishing itself as the authority enabling intelligent transformation for Philippine enterprises.

This new real-time data infrastructure is designed to power the next generation of context-rich, data-intensive AI applications.

The platform addresses a critical bottleneck: the AI stall. Studies show up to 95% of AI efforts under-deliver because they are fed with stale and fragmented data from legacy batch systems.

To bridge this gap, Globe Business is providing the data-in-motion foundation that activates stagnant information into a high-velocity stream of actionable, context-rich intelligence.

“In the race for AI leadership, success will depend not only on model quality, but on the ability to continuously capture and act on fresh, real-time data.,” said KD Dizon, vice president and head of Globe Business.

“By making real-time data an operational reality, we are giving businesses the high-velocity fuel they need to achieve true intelligent transformation”

Built by the original creators of open source Apache Kafka—trusted by over 80% of the Fortune 100—Confluent offers a complete data streaming platform that allows enterprises to stream, connect, process and govern data as it flows throughout their business in real time.

Confluent's proven, enterprise-grade technology is now hosted on Globe's local Virtual Private Cloud enabling Philippine businesses to transform raw data into reusable AI-ready data products that fuel the next generation of intelligent applications.

This managed approach significantly lowers the total cost of ownership compared to self-managed systems, allowing enterprises to bypass the steep expenses of specialized talent and complex infrastructure.

By removing these financial and technical hurdles, companies across the banking, retail, logistics, manufacturing and service sectors can build AI-powered applications faster while ensuring full support for local data residency compliance.

“AI is only as powerful as the data behind it,” said Kamal Brar, senior vice president of Partners and Technology Group at Confluent.

“Through this collaboration with Globe Business, enterprises in the Philippines can tap into real-time data streams that are secure, reliable and ready for scale.”

Early adopters have seen measurable gains. Retailers using real-time data streaming have raised inventory accuracy to 95%. Customer service teams supported by AI agents have automated up to 80% of inbound requests, cutting resolution time from hours to minutes.

Companies like Notion report saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually after switching to managed data streaming.

Globe Business is also applying these lessons internally. With 80% of its workforce now using AI tools, the company has improved efficiency across operations, from hiring to service delivery.

By positioning real-time data as the essential infrastructure for the AI era, Globe Business is enabling modern organizations to achieve sustained business excellence through intelligent transformation.
