Meralco Flexes Their Digital Muscle at MTECH 2017

The Journey to Tomorrow

Yesterday, the folks over at Meralco invited us over to check out their third Meralco Technology and Innovation Summit, or MTECH, to give us a glimpse of the utility company’s recent achievements and show us how the company has made efforts to move further along this digital age. The focus of the keynote speech by Meralco’s Chief Technology Advisor — Gavin D. Barfield — focused on delivering a digital customer experience that would suit how we interact with our devices nowadays and developing more solutions to make our lives a little easier.

“Meralco has invested heavily in new technologies as we undergo a digital transformation of our company,” Barfield says. “We have made great progress but we cannot afford to stand still.”

Aside from touting their new digital customer experience, the lobby of the Lopez Building in Ortigas also has various booths to highlight new technologies that Meralco could utilize in the future to help serve us better. Booths that highlighted the many uses of Augmented Reality were there to give attendees a little taste of fun, such as Lenovo’s Jedi Challenges, with others showing how it could help with logistics and planning.

During the three day summit, MTECH 2017 will also include a cybersecurity competition called FORGE to help bolster cybersecurity in the country and breakout sessions where local and internationally renowned companies discuss new disruptive technologies and innovations as well.

MTECH 2017 started yesterday November 21 and will go on until the 24th at the Lopez Building in Ortigas and is open to the public! For more information about MTECH or to check out the schedules for the talks, head to their website by click HERE.
