Flexible, cost effective solutions for the public sector
Governments are being squeezed from two directions: revenue shortfalls on one side and escalating public demand for critical government services on the other. Windstream’s flexible, cost-effective networking solutions are designed to help public service organizations leverage communications and Internet technology to deliver high-quality services to the public they serve.
Windstream is a proven, experienced partner in supporting the current and emerging network communications requirements of government organizations, enabling public agencies of all sizes and missions to meet the challenge of bringing effective services to its citizens.

Business Challenges:
Increase cost efficiency and improve productivity
Perhaps more than any other, the public sector is most frequently tasked with the need to do more with less. That’s why public service organizations require new and practical ways to reduce their costs and improve staff and operational efficiencies. Windstream’s proven solutions provide the access to the key resources and collaboration tools necessary to increase productivity, improve efficiency, comply with regulatory mandates, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce costs.
Enhanced citizen experience
Web-savvy citizens now expect the same level of service from their government that they receive from private-sector organizations. This has lead government organizations to enhance user access to information and provided secure online transactional services. Government agencies are increasingly expected to offer 24-hour online access to data and services, presenting government organizations with the challenge of having the robust, secure network necessary to handle the demands from its users. Windstream can help government organizations at all levels by leveraging our high-bandwidth data and Internet networks to deliver the e-government services your community needs—and expects.
Protecting public information
Government organizations are mandated by similar compliance rules as their corporate counterparts, and in many cases much more stringently, to protect private information from growing Internet security threats. This is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Government agencies must safeguard the integrity and availability of their data network and reduce threats to computer systems and resources connected to the network. With Windstream’s security solutions, government organizations can maintain unobstructed network environments while proactively protecting them from cyber threats, unauthorized bandwidth hungry application traffic, and objectionable web content, all the while preserving private information.
