Built for the academic calendar

Refreshes, migrations and cutovers are scheduled against your bell schedule and testing windows, not ours. Summer is the sprint; the school year is the watch.

Public-sector fluency

Board approvals, competitive bidding, cooperative contracts and E-Rate documentation are part of the engagement, not an afterthought handed back to your business office.

We don't deliver and disappear

Start with a single contract technician or a full managed service. The same account team stays through scope changes, and monitoring continues after launch.

What we do for schools

01

Technology talent

Technicians, network engineers, systems administrators and project leads placed on contract, contract-to-hire or direct hire, screened against the realities of a school environment.

Staffing · Talent search
02

Managed IT services

Tiered helpdesk for staff and students, monitoring and patching, asset and ticket hygiene, and after-hours escalation against an agreed response window.

Helpdesk · Server · Network
03

AI strategy & integration

Practical automation of the work that consumes your team: ticket triage and routing, knowledge-base answers, reporting and data reconciliation, with student-data guardrails set first.

Assessment · Pilot · Rollout
04

E-Rate consulting

Eligibility review, bidding documents, Form 470 and 471 preparation, PIA responses, invoicing and the document retention file that survives an audit.

Category 1 and Category 2
05

Network & infrastructure

Campus-wide wireless, switching, structured cabling and edge security, all designed, procured and cut over on a schedule the calendar can absorb.

Design · Procurement · Install
06

Cloud migration

Moving identity, files, servers and student systems to cloud platforms, with the licensing model and the fallback plan settled before anything moves.
