Philippine firm finds niche in IT app development

28.03.2006
Philippines IT service provider Softweb Consulting Inc. has found a niche in application development services as it has captured a client base in the banking, manufacturing, and retail sectors.

Awarded as IBM's best partner for software in 2005, Softweb specializes in Lotus consulting and training services. The company also develops Domino applications for both local and international markets. Softweb's product offerings range from global absence management systems to real estate account management systems to project monitoring systems.

Although the company offers a variety of services, Softweb president and managing director Rhennie Viloria said that their forte is applications development. Viloria added that this area is where most of their revenues come from. 'Applications development in business solutions is really our forte. We ask a client what their requirements are when it comes to business processes and then we develop it. We develop a system that fits their requirements,' said Viloria in an interview with Computerworld Philippines.
