reporting out:
We will complete the projects 1 and 3 by November. Project 1 is General Services, and in regards to Project 3 which is Finance we are in the process of completing it.
Web-based email: we are currently working on RFP that needs to go out. We used a template from LACCD, which needed to be modified because it only includes a general web-based solution. Since we already know we are going with Google the RFP will be written to solicit vendors with Google expertise. Michael reported out: that Network Refresh at the district offices is officially completed, and the last phase of the network included the final cutover, we are now in full maintenance mode. Michael hopes to create a presentation for this committee and cabinet so that they could see the new benefits and standards that we are bringing to the districts office for the Network solution and the benefits of the new solution.
