CHALLENGES: Short- and long-term staffingpersonnel include instructors hired to teach individual courses in a regularly changing selection of language classes; sharing office space; developing and using highly professional training materials; no IT expertise to support new language lab and activities such as accounting, class scheduling, maintenance and protection of student records and contact databases; controlling costs.
3COM SOLUTIONS: Bandwidth and speed to meet network traffic needs, including distribution of multimedia training materials, simple-to-use networking services for non-permanent staff who are teaching a single course; reliable, untethered access to networked applications and data via secure wireless connectivity that can be affordably expanded to enable new services or additional teaching locations.
