You don't need x-ray specs to see the true condition of your district's technology infrastructure.
You know those operational problems you're experiencing with new IP-connected technology systems that don't work as expected?
There's a good chance that the root cause is the state of your district's technology infrastructure (sometimes called a physical network) including cabling, pathways, and spaces dedicated to technology systems equipment.
Because this critical technology system is hidden from sight behind walls and above ceilings, its true condition is often unknown until it undergoes an objective analysis with a Technology Conditions Survey.
The web page and PDF links on this page provide perspective about the importance of technology infrastructure as well as 5-minute surveys you can conduct to get a better idea as to the condition of this critical system.

Learn about "The Most Overlooked Spaces of Your District's Facilities"
The spaces devoted to your physical network—cabling, pathways, and Technology Rooms—make up a small fraction of total facility space yet they control your district's ability to transmit and use data, and to access the intranet or internet. Learn more about these under-appreciated spaces in this informative webpage or PDF. |

Whether you know them as MDFs, IDFs, or some other acronym, the Technology Rooms (TRs) that house and protect your physical network equipment are among the most important spaces in your district.
As the digital brains behind your district's operations, the condition of your TRs directly effects the performance of IP-connected systems including security, instructional, and wireless access.
Yet, for many districts, these critical spaces do not follow industry best practices greatly increasing the likelihood of technology system operational errors or failure…even for newly installed systems. See for yourself what a bad vs. a good TR looks like in this informative webpage or PDF.
