Our Major Functions

Infrastructure. We manage the hardware components, the network, the circuitry, and all other equipment necessary to make an enterprise system function according to the established need.

Functionality. We create and maintain operational applications; developing, securing, and storing electronic data that belongs to the district; and assist in the use of enterprise software and data management processes to all functional areas of the district.

Network Responsibilities

We evaluate and install the proper hardware and software necessary to keep the network functioning properly.  Budgets that are allocated and approved by the district authority are strictly adheared to and audited. We make sure that the equipment and service investments optimally serve the needs of the district.

Our network is complex.

We consult with demonstrated technical experts on a range of network and systems topics.
