IT consultant in Los Angeles Cal Net Technology Group announced earlier this month the launch of a new initiative to help the ongoing advancement of technology in the private education sector. According to the company press release, the Cal Net Education Peer Groups (CNEPG) will organize “group discussion and accountability among peers who share the same needs at their respective educational institutions.”
The first CNEPG meeting, led by Cal Net’s chief executive officer Zack Schuler, will be held at Cal State Northridge on Tuesday May 4, 2010. The event will cover various topics on Los Angeles and Orange County IT support including distance learning and current/future plans around delivery and support; how to implement the utilization of students and faculty as helpdesk support; how to implement the one laptop per student initiative; and how to best allocate IT budgets.
“We look forward to collaborating with our Education IT clients in order to help shape the technology needs of the private education sector, particularly as administrators look for cost-effective and efficient ways of utilizing internal resources,” said Schuler in the company press release. “Cal Net currently participates in a similar style peer group for the IT Services industry and we have been leaders in that group for over four years. Because of this experience we feel as though we are in a good position to bring this model to our partners in education.”
Unlike most IT companies in Los Angeles, Cal Net provides small to mid-size companies in Southern California with technology consulting and IT computer services. Learn more at www.calnettech.com or call 866-999-2638.
