Networld Solutions Announces Contract Extension With Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District

Market Wire, July, 2008

Networld Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of value-added information technology (IT) consulting and services, today announced that California's Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) has agreed to a one-year contract extension.

The agreement calls for Networld Solutions to continue to provide IT planning and project management services that will drive education technology innovation across the award-winning district's 10 elementary schools, three middle schools and three high schools, as well as an alternative K-8 school and a district-wide pre-school program.

According to Virginia Hyatt, director of procurement, contracts and construction for Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, Networld Solutions played a crucial role in spearheading an important bid for wide area network (WAN)/local area network (LAN) technology and services, for which the district recently awarded a contract to AT&T.

"Networld Solutions came in and quickly evaluated our technology needs and our ability to support IT growth through our Education Technology Plan, and their help with important initiatives such as the WAN/LAN bid has been extremely valuable," Hyatt said. "We are pleased to renew the contract as we move forward with technology innovations that set the stage for continued success in our classrooms."

Plans are in place for Networld Solutions to support SMMUSD efforts for enhancing district- and campus-wide networks, and adding wireless networking and Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VOIP) systems to save costs and facilitate communication. Networld Solutions will provide the district with expert guidance and project management services as these initiatives are put in place.

"We are very pleased to extend the excellent partnership that we have with SMMUSD," said Darryl Vidal, vice president of Networld Solutions, Inc. "Through use of our services, the district has demonstrated its dedication to providing teachers and students with the best technology tools and resources available."

Networld Solutions first began its partnership with SMMUSD in 2007, starting with a technology infrastructure assessment to determine the district's ability to support ongoing improvements over a five-year period, and to address the technology component of Measure BB for school safety and repair. From there, Networld Solutions developed a strategic vision map and tactical plan to help SMMUSD achieve its technology goals.
