Vision, Evolution, and Purpose-Driven Innovation
The Channel Group of Companies began its journey in 1993, founded by the visionary Manuel S. Bagatsing (MSB). A non-technical entrepreneur with an exceptional ability to identify pain points in the banking sector, MSB set out to provide cost-effective solutions that helped banks optimize their infrastructure and reduce unnecessary expenses. The company’s initial focus on banking system hardware maintenance allowed it to build a reputation as a trusted partner in the industry.
As MSB observed the rapid digital transformation in the early 2000s, he recognized the need to adapt to a more software-driven landscape. In 2003, Channel Technologies launched its Software and Professional Services arm—Channel Solutions Inc. The new arm was designed to meet the growing demand for smart, agile software solutions in a variety of sectors, allowing Channel to expand beyond hardware maintenance and into enterprise resource planning, loan management, and digital transformation.
Driven by a commitment to solve real-world challenges and offer cost-effective alternatives, Channel Solutions Inc. quickly became a leading provider of Software Lifecycle Management (SLM), delivering innovative solutions across industries such as banking, retail, cooperatives, and more. These solutions empowered clients to optimize workflows, streamline operations, and minimize costs, all while remaining adaptive to market shifts.
But the Channel Group’s reach didn’t stop there. Recognizing the need for diversification, MSB expanded the group with several other subsidiaries to address emerging markets and industries. These included companies focused on e-loading services, cable services, petrol equipment, farming, and more—each aimed at filling gaps in underserved sectors while providing sustainable, forward-thinking solutions.
From technology to energy, from communications to agriculture, the Channel Group continues to grow and evolve, driven by MSB’s unwavering belief in innovative, cost-saving solutions.
Today, Channel Technologies Inc. and Channel Solutions Inc. stand as the pillars of a larger, dynamic group that serves a broad range of industries, helping clients navigate and thrive in an increasingly digital world. Through each subsidiary and every service offered, the Group remains focused on its core mission: to deliver purposeful innovation and smart technology solutions that enhance businesses and improve lives.
