Converge partners with Iloilo City to accelerate public sector digitalization

Leading fiber internet and technology solutions provider Converge ICT Solutions, Inc. (PSE: CNVRG) is driving public sector digitalization across Iloilo City by establishing actionable blueprints for Local Government Units (LGUs) and government agencies to transition into resilient, data-driven smart communities capable of delivering enhanced, citizen-centric public services.

Converge Global Business Group, the company’s corporate business unit, convened Iloilo City’s public sector leaders during its recent “Elevating Connections” executive forum at the Richmonde Hotel Iloilo to align strategies for next-generation digital transformation.

Digitalization as a governance imperative 

Atty. Fydah Marie Sabando-Del Rosario, Iloilo City Department Head for the Data Assessment and Systems Management Office, delivered the keynote address, framing digital transformation as the modern benchmark for progressive public service.

"Embracing digital transformation is a foundational requirement for transparent, efficient, and responsive local governance," stated Atty. Sabando-Del Rosario. "By modernizing our data infrastructure, we directly accelerate service delivery and increase accessibility for every citizen."

Scalable infrastructure for adaptive governance 

Converge reinforced its operational commitment to provide scalable ICT ecosystems tailored to an LGU’s specific digital maturity, whether establishing baseline connectivity or deploying advanced automation frameworks.

Shion Canen, AVP & Head of Enterprise Sales for Visayas and Mindanao at Converge Global Business, outlined the company's directional roadmap for regional municipalities:

"Our objective is to empower LGUs and public sector entities at every stage of their digital evolution," Canen emphasized. "Whether a municipality is laying its first digital foundation or scaling an advanced smart ecosystem, Converge provides the enterprise-grade infrastructure to maximize their operational potential. Through a robust portfolio of Smart City solutions and secure cloud hosting, we enable LGUs and government agencies to seamlessly host critical citizen applications and secure vital public records."
