With rapid changes in technology, many schools today lack the resources or time to maintain and administer a full suite of information and communications equipment and services on a daily basis.

As a managed, end-to-end product, GCI SchoolAccess prevents school administrators and technology staff from worrying that any change or increase in technology capacity will results in an overload of a school's technical or budgetary resources. GCI functions as an extension of the school's technology team. The support of GCI's engineers often frees technology coordinators from their basic system maintenance duties and enables them to help teachers integrate technology into the classroom, develop innovative technology plans, and apply for additional grants to expand technology initiatives.

"We are constantly amazed at the technical team's willingness to help us figure out solutions for our needs." - David J. Piazza, Technology Specialist,   Southwest Region School District

The GCI SchoolAccess suite of services is also designed to allow local administration to be performed at the school with a simple graphical user interface through a standard web browser. This enables the local technology staff to add, delete, and modify user and e-mail accounts, as well as manage web site creation and modifications. Furthermore, to maintain local control of a school's computing environment, GCI SchoolAccess products are completely compatible with Windows-based PC and Macintosh computers.
