What Alliance Software does

Alliance Software Inc. is a Cebu-headquartered, Filipino-owned IT services and solutions company founded in April 2000. It provides application development outsourcing, application management, quality assurance and test process outsourcing, IT infrastructure support, UX design, and system documentation services to enterprise and SME clients in the Philippines and Japan. Its delivery model is anchored on an onshore Bridge Engineering service in Tokyo staffed by Japanese-speaking project managers, paired with offshore development centers in Cebu and Manila. The company also develops and sells its own branded products, including Alliance WebPOS, Alliance WebHRIS, Alliance E-commerce, and the Alliance Edge workplace productivity suite (Checkpoint, Mobile JO, Expense Trail, Safety Healthy Checklist), and distributes third-party platforms such as the KeyAqua GIS solution for water utilities and the SelfDrvn gamified employee engagement platform.

The company implements partner enterprise platforms rather than competing with them, operating as a Microsoft Gold Partner for Dynamics 365 Business Central, an SAP Business One implementation partner, an AWS Partner Network member, a Mendix partner, and a MarkLogic Service Partner in Japan. Headcount stood at 505 employees as of March 2025, down from 550 in 2024, after steady growth from 25 employees in 2002. It maintains a wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, Alliance Software Japan, Inc., incorporated in April 2006, and has held ISO 9001 certification since 2004 along with ISO 27001 and NPC Data Privacy certifications. No external institutional investment, parent company, or public listing is disclosed; the firm appears to be founder and management owned.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales via account executives and product specialists, channel reseller distribution for regional SMB reach (notably I.T Geek Solutions in Bacolod), and implementation partnerships with firms such as Reyes Tacandong & Co. Pricing is quote-based and tailored per engagement. Alliance was awarded the 2019 Excellence Award for IT Services in Software Development at the Philippine National Export Congress and positions itself as the Philippines' largest independent Filipino-owned software development outsourcing company.
