Schools have a huge ally when it comes to integrating computer and internet technology into their mission.
This ally is the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) who provides funds, support and a network of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for libraries, schools and even certain medical providers.
We are proud to be a participant in this grand venture with Anaptyx. We provide a comprehensive catalog of services to address all of your needs from an individual school to an entire school district. We can handle any size project from a preschool through K-12 to entire university systems. Members of our staff have worked with several universities including MIT, Harvard, the University of Texas – Austin, The University of Texas system
As the necessity of internet access grows, our institutions must keep up with the times. Our schools require their students to use the internet to complete assignments both on campus and in their homes. Forward thinking school districts are even supplying students with Chromebooks and even laptops to take home. There therefor is a need for managed connectivity in each and every school as well as between campuses in the district. This also applies to administrative networks. We have experience on university campuses as well as enterprise IT that we can provide robust service and management to allow students to properly and efficiently function while keeping their data secure and protecting the school’s network security. We support several technologies through our partners such as content filtering which prevents unauthorized access to inappropriate external web sites and VPN connectivity which allows for encrypted traffic and strong restricted access for sensitive data and systems. We can also segregate the administrative computers to prevent hacking or intrusion. This allows Administration, Faculty, Students and Parents to enjoy safe, secure and easy access to the appropriate resources without compromise. This has the added benefit of freeing scarce IT resources to add more value instead of performing the more mundane tasks of network management and maintenance. Our 7/24/365 network operations center performs this already for our other clients.
We have extensive experience building out computer labs, eClassrooms, campus WiFi and Dorm access.
