Background

Central Tribes of the Shawnee Area (CTSA) operates Head Start programs across multiple locations in Oklahoma and relies on technology for daily program needs, communication, and data management. However, the organization did not have dedicated IT staff, leaving technical duties to employees whose primary roles were unrelated to technology.

This led to inconsistent setups, longer response times, and increased security and compliance risks. To maintain stable operations and protect sensitive information, CTSA required centralized and reliable IT support.

Testimonial

As a customer of DigitalBlue, we value their service at a phenomenal level. Working with children and families comes with the responsibility to protect their personal information, and DigitalBlue has helped us build a secure foundation across all of our sites in Oklahoma. They work closely with our team to address tech challenges, reduce downtime, and ensure we meet high standards for data protection.

They understand the unique needs of Head Start programs and make things simple for staff without an IT background. Their team responds quickly, is friendly, and provides support tailored to how we work. They have surpassed our expectations and we highly recommend them.
