What we actually run.

Not a service catalog. A working operating model. Each domain comes with team leads, scorecards (Delivery 40 / Stakeholder 20 / Process 20 / People 20), and a no-Capex-without-Opex governance discipline that keeps support funded from day one.

01 / IT & ENGINEERING

Digital Dev & Support

Frontend, backend, DevOps and platform support for the systems your business runs on — kept stable while you ship new things.

  • Shopify, Magento, GECOM ecommerce
  • Senior FE/BE engineering
  • DevOps & CI/CD pipelines
  • PIM & AI-assisted content ops
02 / IT & ENGINEERING

ERP & Integration

D365 functional and technical depth, Boomi integrations, and the unglamorous work that makes order-to-cash actually work across regions.

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365
  • Boomi integration management
  • Legacy retirement (Navision, Synchro, MI9)
  • Master data & reference governance
03 / IT & ENGINEERING

Helpdesk, Infra & Security

ITIL-aligned helpdesk, infrastructure operations, and IT security — built around JIRA/JSM as a single source of truth.

  • L1–L3 helpdesk & service desk
  • Cloud & on-prem infrastructure ops
  • SOC2 / ISO 27001 / CIS v9 alignment
  • Change & incident management
04 / DATA

Data, BI & CRM

A working Data Center of Excellence — Azure Fabric, BI dashboards, CRM hygiene, and the Data Dream Team that turns warehouses into decisions.

  • Azure Data Lake → Fabric migration
  • BI & finance reporting
  • CRM operations & data quality
  • Practitioner / HCP analytics
05 / OPERATIONS

  • Business analysis
  • JIRA / JSM single source of truth
  • Resource & capacity management
08 / GOVERNANCE

Manual and automated QA embedded in delivery — defect rates, rework, and bug escapes treated as scoreboard metrics, not afterthoughts.

  • Functional & regression testing
  • Test automation
  • Release readiness & gating
  • Defect trend reporting
09 / MANAGED DELIVERY

Modernization & Build Squads

For modernization programs that need a dedicated specialist squad — not staff augmentation. Strangler-fig migrations, mainframe offload, cloud-native middleware, on a fixed Statement of Work.

  • GoLang microservice engineering
  • Apache Kafka CDC & Schema Registry
  • In-memory grid (Apache Ignite) builds
  • AWS EKS, Kong API gateway, ArgoCD
  • Shadow-mode validation & circuit-breaker rollback
10 / OPTIONAL

BPO Automation Layer

Where it makes sense, we layer agentic AI — built on yGen Phoenix — on top of the work, so growth doesn't mean linear headcount.

  • Process discovery & automation
  • RPA + agentic orchestration
  • Sovereign on-prem AI option
  • Powered by yGen Phoenix
BPO + Automation, in that order

The work first.
Then the automation.

Most BPO automation pitches start with a tool. Ours start with a stable operation. We run the work — measure it, document it, scorecard it — and only then automate the steps that should never have been human in the first place.

When automation makes sense, we have an in-house option: yGen Phoenix, our sister company's agentic AI platform. It runs on-premise or in your cloud, so your data, your governance, and your sovereignty stay intact. No new vendor to onboard. No new contract to negotiate. Same delivery team, more leverage.

Flagship Engagements · Both Active 2026

Two flagship engagements.
One operating discipline.

A global consumer health and wellness brand's Shared Services Center. A Fortune-class cruise operator's mainframe modernization program. Different industries, different scopes, same operating bones — managed delivery, scorecards, and a Manila team accountable to outcomes, not timesheets. Both anonymized under NDA.

CASE 01 · SHARED SERVICES
Live since 2024

A global SSC for a consumer health & wellness brand.

A global consumer health and wellness brand operating across the United States, Europe and ANZ chose Clicktek as the operations spine for its Shared Services Center.

The brief was not "outsource some tickets." It was: stand up a real SSC, drive a multi-year reduction in technology cost as a share of revenue, govern a multi-ERP, multi-platform estate inherited through M&A — without slowing the business.

"2025 was about stabilization. 2026 is about governance and acceleration."

Eleven service domains run under a single scorecard: 40% delivery, 20% stakeholder, 20% process, 20% people. Year one delivered material EBITDA improvement versus plan through SSC productivity.

CASE 02 · MANAGED DELIVERY
Engaged 2026 · 17-month build

Mainframe offload for a Fortune-class cruise operator.

A Fortune-class global cruise operator running its mission-critical reservation platform on an IBM mainframe — processing tens of millions of transactions per day — engaged Clicktek as managed-delivery partner for its multi-year modernization program.

The scope: a purpose-built Cruise Pricing Engine — a five-layer middleware that offloads high-frequency pricing reads from the mainframe to AWS, without touching the booking write-path. Strangler-fig pattern, shadow-mode validation, 60-second circuit-breaker rollback.

"IBM leads the program architecture. Clicktek executes the pricing domain. One delivery ecosystem — not two parallel conversations."

A 10-person specialist squad — GoLang engineers, Kafka/integration specialists, business rule analysts, performance QA — built and managed from Manila Shared Services. Outcome-based Statement of Work, not staff augmentation.

Both engagements are governed by the same Clicktek operating principles — managed outcomes over managed hours, scorecards over status reports, and "no Capex without Opex" support funding built into every business case.

An operating model,
not a service catalog.

Whether we're running a Shared Services Center or delivering a mainframe modernization squad, the bones are the same — adapted from Roger Martin's Playing to Win and Covey's 4 Disciplines of Execution. It's how we keep strategic work alive while the whirlwind of daily operations runs at full speed.

01
Stabilize the work

Before we automate or optimize, we make the operation predictable. Service catalog, SLAs, scorecards, single source of truth in JIRA/JSM. You can't improve what you can't see.

ITILJSMSLA Scorecards
02
Govern with discipline

An ePMO with one tool, one entry point, one dashboard. Architecture and Cloud forums for technical decisions. Office of the CTO formalised. No Capex approved without an Opex carve-out for support.

ePMOOffice of the CTONo Capex w/o Opex
03
Centers of Excellence, not regional generalists

One specialist hub per platform — Shopify COE, D365 COE, Data & Analytics COE — instead of thinly-spread generalists in every region. Higher quality, standardized processes, lower total Opex, scalable for acquisitions.

04
Accelerate with agentic AI

Where the work is repeatable, governed, and high-volume, we layer agentic AI from sister company yGen. On-premise or in your cloud, so your data and governance stay yours.

Cadence of accountability

Weekly KIG sessions. Monthly stakeholder reviews. Quarterly business reviews against the scorecard. Consistency over intensity — strategy executed one week at a time.

Have an operation
that needs a real partner?

We're selective about scope. Most engagements start with a small, scoped pilot — usually one service domain — so you can see how we run before you commit to a full SSC.
