Accelerating access to broadband funding.
Our Client: VCTI (Virtual Clarity Technology Infrastructure) provides software solutions, consulting services, and expert technical resources aimed at enhancing the efficiency of broadband service providers and technology companies. They specialize in accelerating broadband expansion, automating processes, and migrating legacy systems to the cloud.
Our Challenge: JCI helped VCTI in various capacities on broadband grant awards and opportunities throughout the United States. The goal was to expand broadband access and expedite broadband initiatives by internet service providers by gathering useful data on national funding from government programs. JCI was also tasked with creating awareness and gathering intel about bridging the digital divide.
Our Approach: JCI conducted extensive outreach in order to gather mapping information and other context on broadband grant funding. JCI also worked with data gathered by the VCTI team and assisted in writing grant applications, providing background knowledge of U.S. grant systems and local/state governments for their India-based team. JCI also conducted outreach in Texas to set up meetings and facilitate connections for the VCTI team.
Our Results: JCI has collected extensive information on broadband grants for all fifty states, with mapping files and award amounts for reference. VCTI has found new connections and developed its business and its product. Additionally, the JCI team gained a deep understanding of the various broadband office operations and grant management in all fifty states.
