Traditionally, IT infrastructure, wired and wireless networks, are seen as expenses to the company. It is needed as a necessary evil. It costs a lot of money, but you don’t get a lot back. Our mission is to enable the CIO and the IT staff to build the strategic infrastructure to grow the business; to unlock additional revenue. We want to be sure that IT has a seat at the C-level table to show how technology can open the door to additional business growth.
This is why any successful CIO today views the network as a strategic business asset.
Think about how technology can relate to user experience: For example at Ruth’s Chris restaurants customers expect a top-of-the line experience. But if you go there expecting Wi-Fi you’ll find they have none. So you question their brand and how well they are servicing their customers. But at 99 Restaurants, a family restaurant, they have great Wi-Fi and customers give them a better brand standing because of it.
We want to help you as a CIO make sure you provide your customers with a consistent user experience; meeting the requirements of today’s hyper-connected, hyper-knowledge-sharing economy that we are in.
With the rapid adoption of 1:1, BYOD, Flipped Classrooms, Digital Textbooks, and Personalized Learning, districts must leverage the power of their network infrastructure to improve the learning environment of their students and support the instructional needs of faculty, staff, and students.

Why?
These factors help us individualize curricular delivery, making it easy and curricular-based for the student. For example, a STEM student may receive better bandwidth and more resources than, for example, a 4th grader. Time of day is important since, at 5 pm, the auditorium and gym could be opened up for use by the community and attendees at the school play or game. Since the tax payer and the School Board help fund the network, it’s useful to open the bandwidth up to them, but restrict them to Internet-only access.
“You’ve got to start with the user experience and work back toward the technology – not the other way around” (Steve Jobs)
