Who: Apogee, a leading managed technology services provider solely focused on higher education, will present a webinar, “Why Oklahoma State Outsourced Its ResNet” on Monday, March 4, 2024. This webinar will focus on the partnership between Apogee and Oklahoma State University (OSU).
Apogee is sponsoring this webinar as a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series which engages industry experts to share best practices on the use of technology in higher education.
Panelists include:
- David Hinson, campus chief information officer, Apogee
- Jay Lively, network and telecommunications manager, OSU
- Dr. Leon McClinton, Jr., director of housing and residential life, OSU
“For today’s students, reliable, high-performing Wi-Fi is not a luxury. It’s a necessity―almost as essential as the air they breathe. Students depend on Wi-Fi for everything from classwork and homework to entertainment and socializing,” Hinson commented. “Campus IT and housing leaders understand the strategic value of providing blazing-fast, reliable Wi-Fi service to enhance the student experience. Offloading residential Wi-Fi services and support helps campus leaders meet and exceed student expectations and frees up their time to focus on strategic projects and innovation.”
What: In this webinar, panelists will discuss the journey to outsourcing OSU’s residential Wi-Fi, challenges experienced and addressed along the way, and how this technology partnership has improved the student and staff experience at OSU.
- Attendee outcomes include the following:
- Understand the factors that led OSU to outsource its residential Wi-Fi.
- Discuss the positive impact on the students and staff.
- Summarize the challenges of outsourcing and hear how OSU and Apogee overcame them.
- Learn how outsourcing can eliminate the pain of annual budgeting, equipment refreshes, and student complaints, thus allowing the IT and housing teams to focus on strategic projects and innovation.
