PLDT Enterprise, the corporate business arm of PLDT, has signed an agreement with Batanes State College (BSC) to provide its cutting-edge iGate Premium Internet Access, a dedicated internet access service that ensures seamless connectivity.
The collaboration is a significant event in the region as staff, educators, and students benefit from the enhanced connectivity and access to a wealth of educational resources seamlessly.
“With iGate, Batanes State College can leverage the power of reliable and high-speed internet connectivity to deliver an enhanced learning experience. We ensure seamless and managed connectivity as well as guaranteed bandwidth allowing the institution to focus on education while we take care of their digital needs,” Vincent R. Rodriguez, business head of Luzon at PLDT Enterprise, said.
For years, PLDT Enterprise has been at the forefront by playing a lead role in guiding organizations in their quest towards digital maturity.
“PLDT Enterprise understands the complexities and requirements of the academe, and our iGate service is designed to meet the ever-growing demands of modern education,” Dennis G. Magbatoc, assistant vice president and CRM head of Luzon at PLDT Enterprise, said.
“We are dedicated to creating a positive impact in the community by empowering educational institutions like Batanes State College with cutting-edge technology,” he added.
BSC President Dr. Djovi Regala Durante said iGate can reliably facilitate virtual attendance.
“Sending employees and students to training and seminars on the mainland can be logistically challenging and costly. With iGate, attendees can participate more efficiently through the internet, revolutionizing the way BSC conducts its academic and administrative operations,” he added.
Batanes State College’s goal is to enhance communication within the institution by establishing a centralized network for voice and data, leaning towards smart campus and digitalization.
Apart from iGate, the business also elevated its mobile solutions with Smart Bizload, which provides faculty and staff with prepaid loads systematically and more conveniently.
Additionally, the partners are exploring the acquisition of the Smart Messaging Suite to efficiently disseminate information to students, integrating it into their enrollment system to provide timely prompts to enrolled students.
The installation of iGate demonstrates BSC’s commitment to digital transformation and with PLDT Enterprise at the helm in bringing their goals a reality, both ensure the academic sector in the region remains competitive in the fast-paced digital world.
