"School districts and academic institutions find keeping up with emerging technology a constant struggle, particularly due to budget constraints and security concerns," said Hudson Denney, founding partner of Net3 Technology.  "The proliferation of cloud computing within the IT organization is only increasing and the District Administration Leadership Institute reported that 90 percent of K-12 institutions were relying on or implementing cloud technology for the 2012 – 2013 academic year.  The burden of creating affordable solutions for the education market, is a growing concern, as the cloud environment isn't something you just plug in or turn on and it all works.  We're bringing this PvDC education solution to market to address the growing need."

District CIOs are under increasing pressure to cut costs and keep up with the latest technology trends - implementing a cloud solution can be an easy fix, nevertheless, implementations can be pricey and security is a particular concern, specifically regarding student information.   These are challenges shared with CIOs everywhere regardless of whether they are from the education market or a large or small corporation, healthcare industry, financial institutions, and or a state or local government.  Net3 partners with companies like Cisco, EMC, HP, Actifio, Tintri, and VMware to develop a customized cloud suite that provides the solutions to these challenges.
