Surrey – Basilica Software Corporation, an IT solutions provider located in Surrey, BC, today
announces that it has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the CIO Forum Foundation of
the Philippines that will endorse Basilica Software’s CIOAdvisor system to the agencies of the Philippine government.
“It is a huge win for us,” says Manny Masongsong, Basilica Software’s Chief Executive Officer and co-founder.
“This vote of confidence from a major foreign government adds to our growing list of clients and credibility.”
Basilica Software was formed in 2004 to produce the CIOAdvisor, a web-based software system that manages all
aspects of a company’s information technology department. With clients ranging from foreign billion dollar
retail conglomerates to a Canadian bank, this BC-based tech firm is managing to grow despite the difficult economic climate.
The CIO Forum Foundation of the Philippines is an arms-length non-profit foundation formed by the CIO’s of the different
agencies of the Philippine government through the Securities and Exchange Commission. Their mandate is to promote best
practices and leading technology to better serve the citizens of the Philippines. The CIO Forum Foundation has already
been aware of different software products from various software producers before selecting the Basilica Software’s
CIOAdvisor to form the basis of improved efficiency and accountability in government agency computer systems. The
implementation, training and support will be handled by Basilica Software’s Philippine subsidiary, Basilica
Software Philippines.
The new partnership has already begun generating clients for Basilica, with the Commission on Information and
Communications Technology (CICT) and the National Computer Centre (NCC) subscribing to the recently announced
CIOAdvisor online cloud computing service this June.
“With this new partnership, we’ve demonstrated the ability to compete and win on the world stage, in both the
public and private sectors,” says Masongsong. “But we can’t slow down now, after years of development, this was the
opportunity we’ve been working for.”
