The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Central Visayas tapped PLDT Enterprise to enhance its operations with reliable internet and voice connectivity.
PLDT Enterprise will equip DPWH Region VII with iGate and SIP Trunks, facilitating seamless access and communication across the government agency’s clientele in Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental and Siquijor – the constituent provinces of Central Visayas.
The company’s iGate is a dedicated internet access service that provides customers with guaranteed bandwidth and is tailor-fit for running bandwidth-intensive applications, hosting rich-media content and supporting mission-critical communications.
SIP trunks are telephone lines ported to a different telephone exchange, a service that is best for offices based in geographically dispersed locations that need constant contact.
“We hope to strengthen this partnership across Region VII and, if we are successful, recommend this as a model for other regions,” newly-appointed DPWH Region VII head Danilo Villa Jr. said.
PLDT Enterprise assistant vice president and head of customer relationship management for the Visayas Kent de la Calzada said the partnership with DPWH Region VII is part of the PLDT Group’s much larger goal of extending a helping hand in nation-building.
“We, at PLDT Enterprise, are committed to helping our customers succeed in their endeavors. And for a government agency like DPWH Region VII, that commitment to succeed is more focused in view of the impact of its various projects on the economy and the lives of the residents of Central Visayas,” De la Calzada said.
