The future of work is already unfolding, and it\u2019s more connected, secure, and intelligent than ever before. This was the message of Cisco\u2019s APJC Leader, Partner Networking Specialist, Pavel Svatos, during the second leg of\u00a0Tech Week PH 2025, where PLDT Enterprise gathered business leaders, tech visionaries, and public sector stakeholders to explore how digital innovation can drive inclusive growth across the regions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted for the first time in Cebu and the greater Visayas region, PLDT Enterprise\u2019s Tech Week PH 2025 underscored the growing importance of regional digital transformation conversations. It also signaled PLDT Enterprise\u2019s continued momentum in bringing global tech leaders closer to local enterprises. Cisco’s presence championed PLDT Enterprise\u2019s mission to enable digital transformation in every corner of the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing over 1,000 participants from across Visayas, Svatos shared Cisco\u2019s bold vision for powering the workplaces and industries of tomorrow\u2014focusing on the convergence of AI, security, and connectivity. He spoke about how AI is changing everything, citing examples of AI-powered customer chatbots, and use cases across healthcare, logistics, and even data centers on wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that companies that adapt fast will lead, while the ones that don\u2019t will risk falling behind. The workplace also doesn\u2019t function without a secure, intelligent network that powers seamless connectivity, zero-trust security, and real-time collaboration. As a networking and security leader, that\u2019s what Cisco delivers\u2014and is proud to bring to the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Svatos underscored that while work takes place anywhere today \u2013 at offices, hospitals, stores, and even moving vehicles, many businesses still struggle with hybrid work gaps, inefficient infrastructure, and rising security risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cisco\u2019s answer is an integrated ecosystem of AI-ready networking, cybersecurity, observability, and collaboration solutions, built to ensure digital resilience and smarter business outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with partners and tech innovators, PLDT Enterprise\u2019s Tech Week PH featured Tech City\u2014an immersive showcase of solutions, including those from Cisco, bringing to life how next-generation technologies can power industries forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By bringing global experts like Cisco to Visayas and Mindanao, PLDT Enterprise is actively expanding access to world-class innovation, aligning with its long-standing goal of bridging the digital divide and building a more inclusive, future-ready Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Cisco, our strategy is to securely connect everything to make anything possible. We\u2019re not just connecting people, places, apps, data and things wherever our networks can reach. We\u2019re also protecting all of this against threats, downtime, and risk and providing the underlying digital resilience that is so crucial for businesses today,\u201d said Zaza Soriano-Nicart, Managing Director, Cisco Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech Week PH now moves to its final and biggest chapter in Metro Manila, where it is expected to gather the largest number of participants and deliver its most expansive showcase yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
