“Bridging the Digital Divide” is the motto of PowerUP, the leading national non-profit organization dedicated to helping today's youth excel in a technical world. They came to Trilogy Networks with a dream of computer centers throughout the nation, a will to make it happen, but little idea on how to take their vision and make it a reality. In addition, they wanted 250 of these centers installed by the end of year 2000. It was now almost the middle of that very same year!

Not only was Trilogy Networks there with the knowledge, people, and contacts to make those dreams a reality, but we also deployed over 330 sites instead of the required 250. Not an easy task considering the short timeframe given to plan the site infrastructure, project manage site readiness and product distribution, and send engineers out over the nation to install these sites. Trilogy Networks was up to the task. We bring this sense of urgency to each of our projects - our reaction speed helps you stay ahead of your competition.

Trilogy Networks offered these services to PowerUP to make their dream a reality:

• Project Planning - from beginning to end, including:
  1. Resource management
  2. Product acquisition and distribution
  3. Site design
  4. Network infrastructure design
  5. Application selection
  6. Security planning
• Project Management - to make sure that pre-completion projects were completed on schedule and to make sure that suppliers and distributors delivered as promised. All of this with a secure Web-based interface that PowerUP could use to check the status of projects in real-time over the Internet.
• Software Automation - to make installation, maintenance, and support of this number of sites a practical reality.
• Site Deployment - across the nation and to sites in even remote parts of Alaska, Trilogy Networks' engineers rapidly deployed site after site to break the goal of 250 sites in less than six months. Each site was done with the consistent quality of the Trilogy Networks engineering team. As we deployed these sites, our client stayed up to date by using our Web-based project management system, which features project status and photos from every installation.
• Service and Support - to keep each site up-and-running, children learning, and lab instructors/site administrators happy. Most organizations know what kind of nightmare it can be to support a large number of sites over a large geographical region. Trilogy Networks' dedicated support team was there to keep each site running at peak performance.

These services are not unique to the installation of non-profit computer centers. These are the same services that it takes to make your next project a reality and a success, whether it is the installation of a new remote facility, the design and implementation of your core network service, or the upgrade of your existing infrastructure.
