Championing the era of open banking


Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has become the first local bank to advocate and implement open banking in the country, affirming its position as a digital trailblazer in the financial industry. In a talk on digital transformation delivered during the recent Philippine Digital Convention at the Marriott Hotel, RCBC Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva said RCBC is pushing for open banking to power rural banks, cooperatives, microfinance institutions (MFIs) and FinTech players' transactions via open application programming interfaces (APIs). It reduces barriers to innovation, eliminates the big banks' "walled gardens", and enables small players to be part of the National Retail Payments System (NRPS) ecosystem.

Salarium Launches Payroll Software for Big Businesses

Salarium, one of the country's leading providers of intelligent technological business solutions, launches the latest version of its payroll processing software this September.

While Salarium already serves numerous small to medium enterprises (SMEs), the update is a complete overhaul that will bring a new level of enterprise-grade payroll to address the requirements of bigger businesses in the Philippines.


Salaroum Chief Executive Officer Judah Hirsch
"We wanted to provide large Philippine enterprises with a highly customizable payroll solution that is ideal for solutions integrators," said Salarium founder and Chief Executive Officer Judah Hirsch. 

"Company's needs vary on a case-to-case basis, so we decided to shift to a modular microservices-based architecture. This makes Salarium ideal for integrating into an existing structure or system, and it allows us to create highly customizable technological solutions for our clients," Hirsch revealed.




A highly adaptable and business-centric  software

The biggest change from previous iterations is that instead of distributing the software as a single bundle of services, Salarium now offers each service as an individual module so that large businesses need not be concerned about the difficulty of integrating the software because they can choose the specific solutions that meet their needs.




Big businesses need big solutions

Version 3.0’s modular setup is a response to the demand for scalable technological solutions to process-heavy administrative tasks. As a company grows, scalability becomes essential to maintaining the quality and reliability of its services.

Salarium’s new modules introduce independent scalability. Since services are assigned specific teams to develop them individually, deployment is much quicker, and improvements are made with greater attention to detail.


A seamless user experience

Additionally, the new update has transformed Salarium into a powerful and highly customizable asset that guarantees a scalable management system, versatile timekeeping, sophisticated payroll disbursement and convenient handling of government reports. 

Salarium has also completely redesigned its user interface to make it easier to access and navigate for both administrators and employees. 





Take more control over security and data privacy

Potential risk is always directly proportional to company size, especially when it comes to maintaining a secure hold over sensitive information. In the case of larger businesses, the need to tighten security around the personal data of employees only increases the more people they employ. 

The update takes a state-of-the-art approach that not only covers monitoring user activity and setting advanced permission controls, it also provides an extra measure of security that is inherent to its new structure.




Customer support that continues 24/7

The largest businesses in the Philippines are heavily tied-in with the global market, rendering services and providing goods to consumers all over the world. Continuous and specialized customer support that never sleeps is one of Salarium’s competitive edges. Clients can reach Salarium at any time, through various channels and with any query so that any potential disruption of service is avoided. 

Salarium wants to alleviate the administrative burden brought on by repetitive tasks so that people can focus their attention on developing skills that maximize their potential. 

The new update further decreases the administrative burden on human resources in the Philippines, allowing HR to focus on cultivating manpower and have a higher impact on company productivity.

Transcom Opens New Site at The Ayala 30th

Transcom (Transcom Worldwide AB), a Swedish-owned BPO company, officially opened a 2-floor site at The 30th Corporate Center in Pasig City last August 27. The inauguration ceremony was led by Mark Lyndsell, Transcom's CEO for the Global English Region, along with Lennart Jansson, Swedish Deputy Head of Mission, and James Jung, President of Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation ( SEPCO).

Located on the 18th and 19th floor of the Ayala 30th shopping and business center along Meralco Avenue, the site is home to at least 1,000 employees serving customers in North America and Asia Pacific.

"We believe that opening this site will reposition us in a highly-competitive BPO landscape in the Philippines and increase our attractiveness to our clients. On top of that, the motivation for the space is to create an amazing environment for our awesome people that truly reflects our core values as an organization which, of course, complements the world class brands we support," according to Mark Lyndsell.




With a mix of smart, flexible, warm, and welcoming design elements, Transcom's new site showcases a design upgrade that supports the organizational transformation it began two years ago as well as the brand refresh it launched in early 2019.

"We wanted a design that would level up our own standard for designing and building our facilities. With this new site, we have actually raised the bar higher in defining our organizational brand as we invest in new spaces moving forward," Lyndsell said.

Paolo Xavier Ilano, an employee who has been with Transcom for seven years and who is a Transcom TAYO Ambassador considers the site as a breath of fresh air. "The view from my office window is as stunning as the interior design inside and outside the Production Floor," he shared

As part of a standard set of amenities across Transcom's workspaces, the site also houses a child care area, gym, sleeping quarters and shower rooms, a pharmacy operated by Generika Drugstore and a café operated by Figaro Coffee




Lyndsell also highlighted that compared to other Transcom sites in Manila and in the Visayas, there are more breakout areas and open spaces at The 30th Corporate Center site. 



"We have lounges, thinking pods and collaboration areas where our employees can simply relax, engage with colleagues, and generate or exchange ideas. We want the amenities to help us convey the message that we truly care for our people," he added.

By the 4th quarter of 2019, Transcom will start growing the site's employee headcount through the expansion of its business in Awesome OS, the Davao-based customer care company it acquired in August 2018. The expansion will mark Awesome OS's  maiden operation in Metro Manila.

Apart from the 30th Corporate Center site, Transcom maintains its regional headquarters site in the Boni area in Mandaluyong and an operations site in Pasig-Tiendesitas. In the Visayas, it operates in the cities of Bacolod and Iloilo. Transcom in the Philippines has about 11,500 employees.
