(Manila, Philippines - October 28, 2020) PLDT Enterprise, which is holding the first fully-virtual Philippine Digital Convention (PH Digicon) 2020 from October 28-30, will have Salesforce Industries CEO David Schmaier as one of the event’s headline speakers.
Carrying
the theme, “IMPACT”, this year’s PH Digicon aims to inspire attendees to
embrace the call of making a positive impact on society through the adoption of
innovations and technologies set to define the new future of work.
Schmaier
is set to talk about Digital Transformation: A Point of Impact Across
Industries—giving a look at how online service companies have disrupted the
global work landscape with game-changing platforms.
He
founded and was CEO of Vlocity, a startup and three-time Forbes Cloud 100
company (201, 2018, 2019) that has built several industry-specific CRM tools
such as media and entertainment and healthcare and government, which Salesforce
acquired in June this year for $1.33 billion. He is responsible for Salesforce Industry
Cloud software and industry strategies.
With
over three decades of experience building CRM, cloud, and industry-specific
vertical software companies as an executive, entrepreneur and board member and
investor, Schmaier’s presence in the Philippine Digital Convention 2020 will
surely give its delegates a glimpse on how the acquisition of Vlocity made an
impact. While Salesforce has developed some of its own industry solutions,
having a division devoted to verticalized tools creates additional market opportunities
for the company. Likewise, PLDT also fortified its partnership with Salesforces
and Vlocity earlier
this year,
signing off on a three-year digital transformation program that enabled it with
industry-specific applications from Vlocity built 100% natively on the
Salesforce platform.
“The
world has forever changed and will stay in this new digital normal. Our
Salesforce industry clouds are purpose-built and embed best practices for 12
distinct industries, making them the fastest path to digital transformation,”
according to Schmaier.
The
fully virtual PH Digicon 2020 will be hosted and moderated by PLDT FVP &
Head of Group Corporate Communications Cathy Yang. The event is free and open
to all across the Asia Pacific region, and serves as a venue for global digital
thought leaders, mavens, and pioneers who will come together to discuss
technological solutions in their respective regions.
