Computers and communications technology in general play an increasingly important role in today\u2019s classroom setting.\u00a0 Whether public or private, institutions expect the most from their technology provider. Yet as with anything relating to technology, new tools and resources appear constantly.\u00a0 This makes not only keeping up with that demand, but also how to most appropriately meet the demand,\u00a0 a daunting task for administration; especially where there is a lack of properly qualified internal personnel to provide guidance about service, reliability and security.\u00a0 For this reason, it is important for schools to utilize their telecommunications budget to the fullest to optimize productivity.\u00a0 The school-telecom provider should be collaborative in nature.\u00a0 A great technology partner will be accessible and take ownership, acting as an extension to, or substitute for, a school\u2019s information technology (IT) department, providing a flexible, consultative approach for the challenges faced (i.e., declining productivity, administrative burden, disorganization of bills, etc.)<\/p>\n
