About the RISE Group
In 2012, a team of software developers found themselves jumping through hoops, past cracks, and over spikes just to set up a connection for their office in Cebu, Philippines. What’s more: almost every other business they knew had the same experience.
By 2015, the cause for better connectivity found itself an advocate: RISE was established to drive solutions for faster internet service. We are on a mission to help create a landscape for accelerated growth in the local internet service industry.
The Mission
Accelerate Internet for the Philippines
The RISE Group
We provide business and wholesale internet services for enterprises and SMEs, for carrier companies and property developers. Alongside fast and reliable connectivity, our services include access to an internet exchange, to infrastructure solutions, and technical expertise. We’ve conquered our fair share of hoops, cracks, spikes — and our work has only just begun.
A commercial analyst examines an organisation’s revenue, operations, and overhead costs to suggest opportunities for improvements. The primary goal of a commercial analyst is to identify the organisation’s commercial patterns and recommend strategies to enhance the firm’s profits. They analyse operational costs, administration expenses, and sales revenues to collaborate on plans to improve a company's financial standing.
The role of a commercial analyst is highly significant, providing critical, actionable information for a company.
