- Chromebook solution
A joint Cooperative Procurement by the members of the Rhode Island Society of Technology Educators and the Northern Rhode Island Collaborative.
Our goal is for every member’s Google implementation to be a success.
RISTE is looking for a solution-based initiative rather than a commodity based contract.
Proposals will be evaluated on how well they will provide the best implementation solution,
which often requires additional services. Project management and successful coordination of
the entire project process from initial purchase by RISTE members to deployment and ongoing
support of the Chromebook solution are needed. RISTE is looking for a vendor that can provide
a total ecosystem integrating devices, software solutions, professional development, and
ongoing support throughout the life of the contract beyond initial roll out.
Ability for the firm to provide a solution for replacement and repair of hardware and software in a
timely manner to ensure that there is minimal impact to the learning process.
The following documents were posted publicly on July 14, 2014 and emailed to the vendors listed below.
