Technology shouldn't be a black box
You're responsible for managing risk and controlling costs. But technology decisions often feel opaque. We can help you see what's actually going on.
What we hear from operations leaders
In our experience with school finance teams, technology budget conversations often feel frustrating. IT asks for more money. You ask what it's for. The answer involves acronyms you've never heard of. Nobody's speaking the same language.
Meanwhile, you're fielding questions from cyber insurance underwriters about penetration testing. Legal is asking about FERPA compliance for that new AI tool a teacher wants to use. The vendor landscape keeps getting more complicated.
The problem isn't that technology is unmanageable. It's that most schools don't have a translator - someone who can bridge the gap between IT and finance, between technical risk and business risk.
How we help operations leaders
Technology cost clarity
We audit your technology spending and show you where money is going. Often we find redundant tools, unused licenses, and vendor contracts that could be renegotiated.
Compliance risk assessment
FERPA, COPPA, state privacy laws, cyber insurance requirements - we help you understand where your actual risk exposure is and what it would take to address it.
Vendor consolidation roadmap
Most schools have too many tools that don't talk to each other. We can show you which ones overlap, which ones you actually need, and how to consolidate without disrupting operations.
Board presentation support
When the board asks about technology investments or cybersecurity posture, we help you present the information in terms they understand - ROI, risk mitigation, competitive positioning.
