A start-up US-owned mobile and information technology (IT) provider, E-Commerce Percs, Inc. (ECPI) is set to start commercial operation in the country by second half of this year.

The company now maintains a facility at the Philippine Stock Exchange Centre in Ortigas Center in Pasig City.

In an interview, Rod C. Estrera, director for corporate and public relations, said that for the past few months the company has been aggressively recruiting people who have skills in J2ME software, server, mobile game graphics, personal computer games and digital and multimedia designs.

He declined to give the company’s hiring targets. "We are now deep in product design and development efforts, while growing and expanding our operations at a phenomenal rate, to ensure we come up with cutting edge, ‘out-of-the-box’ products and applications," Mr. Estrera said.

He said the company is leveraging its robust growth forecast on the entry of the third-generation telecommunication technology or 3G that is expected to drive the demand for rich mobile content such as games.

Particularly, the company intends to focus on developing e-business solutions, multimedia entertainment programs and related value-added service applications.

He refused to name the shareholders of the company, although he described ECPI as a multinational investment company with a global reach and has a diversified business endeavors like mobile and web commerce, content, technological infrastructure, search engine services, mobile and web products and services and operating systems for marketing and advertising. -- Maricel E.
