Empowering Digital Sovereignty and Financial Inclusion

In a move to enhance digital sovereignty and financial inclusion, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) teams up with NOW Corporation’s telecommunications arm, Now Telecom. This collaboration aims to boost the Philippines’ digital infrastructure, offering a secure, accessible network for both public and private sectors.

This strategic partnership is centered around expanding trusted network solutions with a focus on sovereign cloud technologies and national cyber-defense strategies. TCS plans to create citizen-focused services, protecting critical data while empowering local communities. This initiative is part of The Trusted Network Initiative (TNI), which aims for global telecommunications security and highlights a commitment to regional cybersecurity advancement.

A Partnership for Resilience and Innovation

Mel Velarde, Chairman of NOW Group, expressed enthusiasm about reducing dependence on foreign technology and enhancing national data sovereignty. As TCS’s role in the collaboration unfolds, several key initiatives will take shape:

• Data Sovereignty: safeguarding data against international risks
• Operational Interoperability: enhancing agency collaboration in complex scenarios
• Infrastructure Resilience: building a framework resilient to cyber threats
• Minimized Foreign Dependency: ensuring domestic control during emergencies

TCS’s country head, Shiju Varghese, emphasized their shared goal to bolster national digital sovereignty through innovative services. The collaboration will roll out TCS’s SovereignSecure Cloud™, supporting local data control and AI infrastructure. This effort aligns with the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s guidelines, securing critical assets against cyber threats.
