With seven schools in need of an upgrade from Synergy, the administrative staff of Madison School district couldn't play around with untried solutions. After learning of the existence of Phoenix32, they contacted their Dealer, Netsian Technologies Group , and requested a demonstration. Realm Control Corp. met with Madison School District at the Netsian headquarters in Tempe, Arizona to demonstrate the software. Present at the meeting were several representatives from Netsian, as well as Tom Clark, the Director of Information Services for Madison School District. After seeing the intuitive nature of the Phoenix32 web client, Tom immediately knew that he had found their upgrade path.

7 Schools, 1 Solution

During the week of July 11-15, Shane Burke of Realm Control Corp. met with the installation team from Netsian Technologies Group to conduct the first of seven installs. Tom O'Brian and Dan Nelson oversaw the complete rebuild of their Head End media equipment to include new DVD and VHS units. The first school on the docket for upgrade was Rose Lane Elementary, which was completed without incident. Because the upgrade of Rose Lane went so smooth, they all moved on to Simis Elementary and upgraded that facility during the course of the week as well. After upgrading the two schools, Shane spent some time with the staff and faculty of Madison School District for a crash course in the many new features of Phoenix. Shane also visited the remaining five schools and retrieved their databases, which he converted over the course of subsequent weeks so that Netsian could continue with the remaining installations.

Conclusion

Realm Control Corp. would like to thank Netsian Technologies Group for partnering to provide this solution to Madison School District. Special thanks are extended to Dan Nelson, Lee Gruber, and Tom O'Brian. And, of course, a very special thanks goes out to Tom Clark for choosing Phoenix32 as the upgrade path for their obsolete Synergy Media Retrieval systems.
