The City Government of Cebu is accelerating its digital transformation by adopting Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Workspace (GWS) in its delivery of public services underscoring the local government unit’s (LGU) commitment to advancing its processes through cutting-edge digital solutions.
These platforms are aimed at improving the LGU’s operations by boosting productivity, facilitating efficient collaboration, and ensuring high-performance and secure digital experiences. The move is in line with the LGU’s ongoing efforts to improve basic service delivery to its citizens through innovative technology.
"By harnessing the power of Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace, we aim to set a new standard for public service – one that is anchored on efficiency, resilience, and inclusivity," said Kent De La Calzada, assistant vice president & head of customer relationship management at PLDT Enterprise.
The City Government of Cebu's decision to adopt these most recent digital solutions is a strategic response to the growing need for more agile and resilient public services. GCP and GWS will enable the city to streamline its operations, enhance disaster recovery capabilities, and ensure business continuity. These benefits are crucial for Cebu City as it aims to become a beacon of digital innovation and smart governance in the region.
In commenting on the partnership with PLDT Enterprise and the project, Michael L. Rama, mayor of Cebu City, acknowledged that leveraging the capabilities of Google Cloud and Workspace is a major leap forward to becoming a Smart City. “It aligns perfectly with our mission to provide our constituents with prompt, reliable, and secure access to public services. Together, we are laying down the digital foundation that will propel Cebu City into a future with endless possibilities," he added.
