Implementation and Achieving “Run State”

State and local broadband offices and digital equity teams are, in many cases, under-resourced. To meet digital equity plan goals and objectives, Digitunity can be engaged to provide light-touch guidance and support or hands-on implementation work with dedicated staff and resources.

Evaluation, Reporting, and Continuous Improvement

Digitunity is uniquely qualified and equipped to support each client’s ongoing evaluation, reporting, and continuous improvement efforts. Much will be learned along the way, and policies and programs will have to be adjusted to fit the realities that will prevail.

Areas of Focus

As states, regions, and localities implement digital equity plans, many will need support on specific tasks, initiatives, or areas of focus. Digitunity is prepared to support each client’s unique needs. Digitunity’s work focuses on five critical and practical areas that must be addressed to meet residents’ ongoing device needs.

Generation of a Robust and Sustainable Supply of Devices

Free and low-cost devices for qualified residents can be generated through a variety of methods of donation and procurement. Digitunity helps clients establish a consistent device pipeline and optimize the entire supply system.

Distribution and Logistics

Digitunity offers guidance on ensuring the efficient transportation of devices from their source to preparation sites and deployment partners.

Device Preparation

In order to ensure successful adoption, devices must be properly configured and paired with the necessary accessories before deployment. Digitunity has deep knowledge and expertise regarding the preparation of both new and previously used devices.

Deployment

To ensure devices reach residents effectively, it is essential to develop, vet, and train a network of trusted community organizations and anchor institutions to serve as deployment sites. Digitunity has unique expertise to draw upon with its 1,600+ member practitioner network.

Ecosystem Health

A robust device ecosystem requires ongoing evaluation, monitoring, and adjusting. Continuous community feedback is essential in identifying what’s working, challenges, and system improvement. Digitunity can help.
