Converge ICT Solutions augments the government”s response against Covid-19 by providing the Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) with free fast end-to-end fiber internet connection.
Converge ICT Solutions President and CEO Dennis Anthony Uy said that with this, the IATF has been managing their communication channels and data transmission better, allowing them to work and disseminate important information to the Filipinos more efficiently.
Uy also explained that “we understand and emphasize the importance of the timely and fast dissemination of Covid-19 information for the government during this critical period. A stable and reliable internet is necessary for the success of our pandemic response and no agency needs it more than the IATF. Converge provided this support in order to help them fulfill their mandate to keep the public informed, healthy and safe,” Uy added.
Department of Information and Communications Technology undersecretary Eliseo Rio Jr. said that “in this era of Covid-19, we are very happy that Converge ICT Solutions quickly responded to our need for a stable internet connection. We no longer experience any disconnection issues during our data transmissions and virtual meetings, We definitely now have a more efficient and smoother workflow to help more Filipinos in fighting this pandemic.”
For the past five months, the IATF has been tracking and recording Covid-related statistics in order to create the National Action Plan. With two circuits of Converge ICT’s enterprise class fiber internet, the IATF is able to do uninterrupted coordination through VOIP, video conferencing and other applications.
With the augmentation of the IATF, this is one of the many ways on how Converge ICT responded in this unprecedented situation. Aside from giving more than a thousand units of personal protective equipments to Angeles City hospitals, local governments of Pampanga and the provincial government of Tarlac, Converge also wants to ensure that Filipinos will get the chance to enjoy fast connection with the best quality experience.
