As the largest higher education network in Southeast Asia, PHINMA Education serves thousands of underprivileged youth who are often the first in their families to attend college. With a presence of schools spread across the Philippines and Indonesia, their mission is clear: to make lives better through education.
However, in working towards this goal, they faced two major hurdles:
1. Their existing devices and systems were outdated and failing frequently, leading to high maintenance costs and frustrations for both students and staff.
2. They sought to scale operations and implement digital transformation without sacrificing the hyper-personalized learning experience and affecting their margins.
How We Made It Happen
By partnering with Microgenesis, PHINMA Education was able to overcome these challenges.
- Custom-Built PCs: Instead of relying on off-the-shelf solutions, we provided PC setups that were more durable, cost-effective, and designed for their unique needs. This drastically reduced breakdowns and maintenance costs, allowing IT staff to focus on other priorities.
- Fast Deployment: When they urgently needed additional PCs for enrollment, we delivered them within 1-2 days’ notice, without any delays.
- IT Infrastructure Upgrade: From switches and access points to conference room setups, we helped modernize their IT infrastructure, improving connectivity and communication across campuses.
The Results Speak For Themselves
Improved device reliability led to less downtime and fewer tech failures, resulting in more learning and less frustration for students and staff. Additionally, cost savings from reduced maintenance allowed PHINMA Education to optimize their IT budget and reinvest in further educational enhancements. With custom solutions in place, the institution was able to scale operations while maintaining the quality of education.
“It’s been a wonderful ride working with Microgenesis. I’ve been partnering with them since 2009 and a very compelling reason I’ve stayed is because they are always supportive and responsive. We regard Microgenesis as a true partner, especially because they go above and beyond, even fulfilling unplanned requirements. They treat all their customers with care, and you can really feel the support from top to bottom. Our successes for the past couple of years helped build the Board’s confidence in I.T., and we are incredibly happy with the results.”
