\u201cWe pride ourselves in being on the leading edge of technology, and our sense was that partnering with Edupoint would be consistent with that,\u201d said Tom Duenwald, Director of Educational Technology for the district. \u201cIt was also important for us to have a system that has not only a strong national presence, but a state presence as well, and to know that Edupoint is serious about protecting our student and family data. We have a lot of confidence in the system, both in terms of what Synergy has to offer our end users and what it will look like with our IT department.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edupoint\u2019s demonstrated commitment to customer-responsive innovation was also a factor in the district\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were impressed with Edupoint\u2019s track record of continuous improvement,\u201d said Jason Golec, Bellevue\u2019s Director of Technology. \u201cEdupoint is clearly still striving to enhance the Synergy platform to make it more user friendly, and that forward thinking carries a lot of weight.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Edupoint team has also been very responsive and very willing to partner with us, which was attractive from a relationship-building standpoint,\u201d said Melanie McGee, Project Manager for Bellevue. \u201cWe enlisted a wide base of users to participate in the selection process; it wasn\u2019t just IT or Curriculum. Overwhelmingly, the user groups felt that Synergy was the best solution to meet our needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBellevue was seeking a full-featured solution to align with its guiding principles, including Excellence, Accountability, Collaboration, Communication, Innovation, and Continuous Improvement, and found that Synergy best met its requirements,\u201d said Bob Weathers, Founder & CEO of Edupoint. \u201cWe are pleased to welcome Bellevue School District into the Synergy family, and look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
