Service Solutions
We have several solutions that solve the challenges schools face in today’s economy. These solutions focus on getting you the knowledge, manpower, and direction needed to accomplish your technology goals. The charter schools in Washington DC have benefited from these solutions and have managed to solve their technology challenges.
CIO/IT Managment Services
KIPP and Center City in Washington DC, the first successful
conversion from private catholic schools to public charter schools, have used our CIO/IT management services to bolster their
technology use and solve many resource difficulties. A big problem was the lack of funds, so with our help, they were able to find additional E-Rate funds that they qualified for. Additionally, they lacked manpower and direction so we took over the daily IT
management and added a technology plan with several competent staff members to take care all of the support and school technology integration. They were also able to add locations without losing the advantages of being on the main campus.
Our team, working with your current IT staff or consultants, will evaluate your environment and develop and execute an IT plan that will provide the best results for your school. We provide program management, vendor management, and act as liaison with
subcontractors to ensure budgets and timelines are met.
Managed Support
Our support infrastructure was built to respond quickly, understand your goals and go the extra mile when necessary to keep your school running. This proven solution has helped many schools like Arts and Technology in Washington DC. Their original IT staff had no central management and the inability to get tasks and projects completed on time. With our managed support services, they now complete tasks and projects on time, explore new technology, and focus on strategic direction.
Project Management
To help schools install and configure application packages and IT infrastructure solutions we offer project management services. DC Preparatory
Academy in Washington DC has benefited from these services by reducing costs and improving their productivity. Originally, they did not have anyone that had the knowledge and expertise to install a school wide email solution and wide area network. With our help, they were able to implement central email accounts, calendars, and address books that everyone in multiple locations could use. They were also able to connect several locations onto the same network, which allowed everyone to access the same document library and application data.
