The Jamaica Gleaner posted an article on December 21, 2020, about CW Business supporting Jamaica’s government response to COVID-19. Below are some key highlights:
- In the initial weeks after the onset of the pandemic, C&W Business Jamaica received numerous requests for support from all departments of Government and businesses, including small businesses and industry giants, to enable a speedy transition to life with COVID-19
- Its work spans the technology backbone for the Government’s health and educational responses to COVID-19 and enables thousands of Jamaicans to work from home
- We were already in the process of bolstering our network and implementing improvement plans when the pandemic arrived on our shores, so we were ahead of the curve
- This was important because we could be the voice of reason and the strategic ICT partner that was needed to support how our clients responded during the pandemic.”
- The C&W Business team implemented toll-free access to COVID-19 hotlines, donated mobiles phones to assist with contact tracing efforts and executed the rollout of the Ministry of Health and Wellness’ emergency operation centres
- C&W Business Jamaica currently hosts quarterly enablement seminars for small businesses and young entrepreneurs to help them navigate the legal, financial and technological challenges associated with the pandemic
