From Instructional and Communications to Network Connectivity and Devices, virtually every technology system used in most NYS school district's are affected by NYSED's District Reopening Guidance. Every district needs to be taking a proactive look at their existing technology conditions and upgrades or additions needed to meet reopening requirements and recommendations. View a comprehensive list of NYS school district tech systems that are affected by the COBID-19 pandemic and what additional functionality needs (or may need) to be considered to keep your students, staff, and schools safe.

Ever wonder why the building technology system that was just installed doesn't operate exactly as expected? Maybe these operational issues have less to do with the new system than it does with how related existing systems were programmed for it.

• Archi-Technology's Commissioning services ensure these multi-system requirements are met and documented before the system goes live.
• Our Documentation services can capture vital systems commissioning data from existing systems and catalog them in a secure electronic binder that clients and authorized vendors can access 24/7 for system troubleshooting.
