We believe employees thrive when they are connected to and supported by their colleagues. Our managed services coordinators do this by meeting regularly to share ideas, information and knowledge, learn how to build a strong team, ask for help or advice, encourage one another, develop skills, practice security scenarios, and plan for the future. Their last meeting featured a unique team-building activity to learn how to accomplish a common goal as a team with a given set of resources.
✨ In the Summer of 2024, our Solutions & Operations team deployed 120 new switches which involved working in 35 separate wiring closets throughout our districts! 💻 This significant upgrade from 10-year-old switches empowers our districts to deploy and take full advantage of the latest wireless and security technologies—now and in the future. 🌐
