San Juan Campagin
NEC worked in tandem with San Juan’s Ministry of Education in Argentina to help them restructure their IT system. In recent years, users were working across too many platforms, leading to inefficient information management and weak security. Together, we developed WAN infrastructure and designed a secure cloud solution that utilised the management suite of NEC e-Gov Solutions as well as desktop virtualisation and IP telephony. The result is a safer, more streamlined infrastructure, running at a fraction of the cost. By taking care of the clouds, the Ministry and schools of San Juan are now equipped for the future.
