First Nations
Reliable, secure technology support to help preserve and promote your heritage
Modernize Your Technology While Enabling Cultural Preservation and Promotion
A primary goal for many First Nations governments and bands is to preserve, revitalize, and celebrate their cultural heritage. This involves efforts to pass down traditional knowledge, languages, customs, and spiritual practices to future generations. In addition, First Nations also prioritize protecting traditional lands, promoting self-governance, and improving the education, health, and economic empowerment of its residents.
Because these lands are often in remote areas and have traditionally struggled economically, First Nations can sometimes be behind technologically. In the 21st century, First Nations must leverage technology to help preserve their cultural heritage, ensure connectivity and communication, and secure information.
VC3 has expertise in helping First Nations governments and bands improve their network infrastructure, preserve important cultural information, and modernize technology by:
- Replacing outdated hardware and modernizing IT systems
- Securing and backing up data
- Staying within a tight budget using right-sized solutions that scale with your growth
VC3 has spent the last 30 years making IT personal, making IT easy, and getting IT right.

City of Breda, Iowa Addresses Cybersecurity Risks
Breda—like many small cities— has a small staff. With no budget to hire a full-time or even a part-time IT employee, Breda still has IT needs as employees rely on computers and software to perform work. Relying on non-technical city staff to fix IT problems is too risky, and so Breda needed to look at unique IT options that met its needs.
