en.Wedoany.com Reported - ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of PLDT, has announced a strategic partnership with Vantiq, a provider of real-time AI orchestration technology, to strengthen its Pilipinas AI sovereign AI ecosystem, helping enterprises move AI from experimentation to real-time, production-ready operations.

ePLDT and Vantiq expand real-time AI applications to build a sovereign AI ecosystem

This partnership builds on ePLDT's previous collaborations with Dell Technologies and Katonic AI. By combining a complete GPU management platform with an AI orchestration layer, these collaborations laid the foundation for Pilipinas AI—the country's first sovereign AI solution stack.

Hosted at VITRO Sta. Rosa, the Philippines' first AI-ready hyperscale data center, Pilipinas AI enables organizations to fully leverage AI potential without building or managing their own infrastructure. At the same time, the system supports local data privacy requirements and strengthens digital sovereignty by keeping critical data and workloads within the Philippines.

With Vantiq's technology, ePLDT plans to add real-time edge-to-cloud capabilities to Pilipinas AI, connecting data, systems, and workflows. This will enable enterprises and government agencies to sense events, analyze them using AI, coordinate responses, and take real-time action as events unfold.

Through Vantiq's real-time AI orchestration capabilities, Pilipinas AI can support new intelligent applications across various industries and institutions, including emergency response coordination, public safety operations, smart citizen services, customer experience automation, cybersecurity response, logistics optimization, healthcare operations, and real-time business decision-making.

For enterprises, this means faster responses to customer needs, operational disruptions, security risks, and market changes. For government agencies and local government units, it creates opportunities to deliver more timely public services, enhance situational awareness, and coordinate actions across systems and teams.

Victor S. Genuino, President and CEO of ePLDT and VITRO Inc., stated that Pilipinas AI is designed to help Philippine organizations adopt AI with the right foundation, including secure infrastructure, local data residency, enterprise-grade capabilities, and access to global leading technologies. The partnership with Vantiq brings AI to where decisions and actions are most needed, enabling customers to operationalize AI in a practical, scalable, and directly relevant manner.

Marty Sprinzen, Co-founder and CEO of Vantiq, believes that AI creates the greatest value when it is connected to real-time operations and helps organizations take action at critical moments. Through the partnership with ePLDT, both parties are bringing real-time operational AI to the Philippines via a platform that enables intelligent systems to adapt, coordinate, and respond to changing environments.
