Mukilteo School District

PROJECT OVERVIEW

NIS established a relationship with Mukilteo School District in 2006 by performing a data center assessment to evaluate the communications infrastructure including voice, video, data networking, server, and cabling. The assessment was completed using a combination of in-person evaluation and documentation of the data center and interviews with District staff members. With this information, NIS then suggested immediate and long-term improvements to attain proper function of the data center. These recommendations were communicated to District management and key stakeholders.

In 2013 NIS completed a structured cabling and telecommunications space audit with budgetary models for each facility. This first step was foundational for the District to undertake design efforts to augment and, in some cases, replace the existing cable infrastructure to support District-wide wireless access point (WAP) deployment.

NIS is currently completing cabling design and procurement services to provide wireless access to the District. We will be providing design and procurement services for the active electronics to support the wireless infrastructure and VoIP platform. In the final phase of this project, NIS will provide construction and installation project management and commissioning for both the cabling and active electronics installation and deployment.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY:

"NIS is a passionate team of professionals that we consider more as a partner in our work, than just a vendor. After working with NIS for more than a decade, I would highly recommend their expertise in many areas from network infrastructure and wireless projects to upgrading our Data Center to current standards. We have hired NIS for various projects and have found that from planning to integrating, their experience and expertise complements our internal staff to deliver high-value services to our school district, every time."

Deborah Truax Mukilteo School District

"The background and knowledge they can bring to the table, especially when it comes to working in the field of education with network telecommunications, is far superior to any other consulting company I have worked with."

Karl Grandlund Jr., Beaverton School District

"NIS is more than a consultant the college hires to assist with various projects. They have become a partner who understands Portland Community College and participates with the best interest of PCC in mind."

Gregory Malone, Portland Community College

"When we started exploring a possible purchase of VoIP systems, we found the process and information to be very overwhelming. We cannot thank you enough for the assistance of NIS, and the work of Mike and Diane, in particular, in helping us navigate these complicated waters."

Janice R. Morgan, Executive Director, Legal Aid Services of Oregon
