Investing in quality and durable washing machines has become a necessity to every Filipino household. Throughout the years, this helpful appliance has made an enormous impact in people’s lives, saving them more time and energy that can be directed to other chores and priorities. Every year, we have seen innovations and exciting features incorporated in our washing machines, allowing people to easily adapt to lifestyle changes and developing preferences.

XTREME Appliances, the country’s leading one-stop-shop appliance brand, has been continuously offering products that are high quality yet at a very affordable price. Recently, the brand has launched new additions to their washing machine line under their XTREME Cool category — the twin tub washing machine and the top load fully automatic washing machines. In line with its mission of bringing premium quality home and commercial appliances to the Filipino market, XTREME Appliances considers every Filipino needs, wants, and preferences. Aside from providing innovation, the brand considers market relevance and affordability as large factors in their product pipelines.

With the introduction of these new products — XTREME Cool Twin Tub Washing Machines and XTREME Cool Top Load Fully Automatic Washing Machines — the brand aims to reach more Filipino households, most specifically those people who want to upgrade their lifestyle but are budget-conscious.

Wash & dry at the same time with XTREME Cool Twin Tub Washing Machines

With the XTREME COOL Twin Tub Washing Machine, you can now handle your laundry faster thanks to its 2-in-1 water inlet feature that lets you wash and dry your clothes. One of its best features is the Air Flow Spinner that helps improve its drying effect.

Meanwhile, to answer the issue of soap and lint residue, the XTREME Cool Twin Tub Washing Machine is reinforced with an Outlet-Tub Filter that makes sure to reduce the amount of residue left behind your laundry. In fact, it prevents lint from clinging to the garments during the washing process.

The XTREME Cool Twin Tub Washing Machines are available in three washing capacities — XWMTT-0006 6kg capacity (P8,495), XWMTT-0008 8kg capacity (P10,495), and XWMTT-0010 10kg capacity (P11,495).

Save up to 40% of your time with XTREME Cool Top Load Fully Automatic Washing Machines

One of the reasons why most Filipinos opt to buy top load washing machines is its high efficiency yet it still costs less than the front-load units. The XTREME Cool Top Load Fully Automatic Washing Machines, which are available in 7kg capacity and 8kg capacity, were launched in the market. With its Fast Clean System, you can save up to 40% of your time by strengthening the washing beat while keeping the same washing performance.

This top load washing machine comes with an I-Clean feature that lets the tub cleaning run automatically every after the last rinsing process. It also has a Magic Filter — a mesh bag that helps to remove impurities and prevent possible secondary pollution caused by the backflow of dirt. On the other hand, there is no need to reset a washing cycle in case of a sudden power interruption, thanks to the Power Off Memory feature.

The XTREME Cool Top Load Fully Automatic Washing Machines are available in two washing capacities — XWMTL-0007W 7kg capacity (P13,495) and XWMTL-0008W 8kg capacity (P15,495).

ePLDT launches cloud-based phone system service

Tweet

ePLDT recently launched a new, cloud-based phone system called ePLDT Calling for Microsoft Teams, which allows businesses to combine their communication and collaboration systems in a single platform.

As businesses have implemented work-from-home setups at the onset of the pandemic, many had faced challenges around operational inefficiencies brought by the sudden pressure to adopt systems that optimize remote working arrangements. This influx of business applications have thus resulted in largely disconnected legacy and digital platforms.

Organizations caught in this siloed approach (those with disjointed communication and collaboration systems) are predisposed to users toggling from one system to another, which consumes more time and could possibly cause customer dissatisfaction due to simple miscommunication rising from seemingly mundane oversights such as unattended calls and queries and mishandled requests.

In addition, such disparate setups lack operational insights where businesses can gather pertinent data that can be used to improve customer experience.

ePLDT, in partnership with Microsoft and AudioCodes, developed ePLDT Calling for Microsoft Teams—a modern enterprise voice solution that combines both business communication and collaboration systems to enable employees to seamlessly integrate calls into their workflow. The service aims to help boost the efficiency of businesses to improve overall business outcomes while reducing costs, application overload, and worker fatigue.

Businesses are also able to get real-time insights on the quality of calls made to ensure smooth communication and customer satisfaction. Calls are also protected with built-in security and privacy from Microsoft 365.

ePLDT harnessed the collaborative power of Microsoft Teams and utilized the combined robustness and reliability of PLDT SIP connectivity and ePLDT VITRO Data Center, to create a hybrid telephony and video conferencing solution that allows real-time collaboration among employees, customers and other stakeholders. With ePLDT’s ICT expertise and Microsoft 365 certifications, customers are assured that this groundbreaking solution is professionally implemented and supported, and shall be continually reviewed and enhanced.

“Traditional telephony solutions provided limited capabilities at a high cost and effort. ePLDT Calling for Microsoft Teams is the perfect solution for effective internal and external communication,” says Nico Alcoseba, VP & Head of ICT Business for PLDT Enterprise.

Furthermore, ePLDT Calling for Microsoft Teams provides better management of customer experience across legacy and digital channels and aligns technology investments with every company’s business objectives.

“We at ePLDT strive to continuously provide enterprises with innovative solutions that will create real value to their business. We always keep in mind the needs of our customers when we develop a new product to ensure that it answers their problems or challenges, and ePLDT Calling for Microsoft Teams is an illustration of that,” says ePLDT President & CEO and SVP & Head for PLDT and Smart Enterprise Business Groups Jovy Hernandez.

“With ePLDT Calling for Microsoft Teams, we will enable businesses to have maximum productivity and a seamless collaboration among employees,” he added.
