SunTel Services Awarded Education Contract with Michigan's Oakland Schools
TROY, Mich., July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SunTel Services – a complete provider of services for unified communication networks to businesses throughout Michigan and across the country, was recently awarded a contract with Oakland County, Mich.'s Oakland Schools for the purchase of a voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) solution.
Oakland Schools serves 28 local school districts in Oakland County. Plante Moran, in conjunction with the Technology Services Department, acted as the consultant on the project which went out for public bid in January.
SunTel Services' winning bid featured a solution designed to meet the needs and requirements set forth by Oakland Schools and a technical advantage by utilizing server virtualization, which allows Oakland Schools to use existing hardware to leverage savings and maximize survivability.
The bid also offered the advantage of utilizing special pricing through the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a national cooperative that school districts can leverage to take advantage of contract pricing and a streamlined bid process.
The contract was also designed so that all Oakland County school districts can benefit from the special terms and pricing provided by NJPA. Huron Valley and Ferndale districts have taken immediate advantage of this benefit to upgrade their telecommunication needs.
"We are very pleased to partner with Oakland Schools to deliver the solution they require to update their telecommunications platforms," said Gary Jackson, president, SunTel Services. "Our goal at SunTel always remains the same – to offer the best solutions and services for our customers – and we are happy to have Oakland Schools on board."
