It is described as an alliance that will fortify the city’s digital framework and optimize civic service delivery.
Converge Global Business, the corporate and large enterprise unit of broadband and technology provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc., recently formalized a deal with the local Government Unit (LGU) of Danao City in Cebu.
Through this agreement, Danao City will be integrating the high-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) from Converge as its primary backbone for the city’s digital transformation roadmap, ensuring seamless operational performance across all government departments.
The implementation of the mission-critical connectivity, specifically the enterprise-grade fiber infrastructure, is designed to facilitate faster communication, secure data management, and a more agile response to the needs of the community.
This agreement is also said to be underscoring a mutual commitment between both parties to deploy future-ready solutions within the public sector.
“Back in 2023, we envisioned and launched our drive to build an empowered and well-connected Danao, investing decisively in digital infrastructure to turn that vision into reality,” said Mayor Ramon “Nito” Durano III.
“Today, we have connected 27 of our 42 barangays with reliable internet access. We are now pushing forward to achieve 100% connectivity within the year.”
Meanwhile, Shion Canen, AVP & Head for Enterprise Sales, VisMin at Converge Global Business, noted: “This collaboration with Danao City reflects our continued commitment to enabling digital transformation in the public sector through reliable and scalable connectivity solutions.”
“We remain focused on supporting local government units in building stronger digital foundations for more efficient public service.”
Jaive Joseph Roble, City ICT Officer of Danao, added, “This collaboration with Converge allows us to strengthen our digital infrastructure and improve the efficiency of our operations. Reliable connectivity is essential as we continue to modernize our systems and enhance service delivery to our constituents.”
This collaboration also aims to accelerate the evolution of Danao City into a premier Smart City by leveraging the robust network of Converge.
Through which, the LGU is establishing the necessary environment for advanced, integrated technologies that will redefine the digital experience for every Danaoanon.
