Since 2011 JGMC has been providing IT program and project management support to the Long Beach Unified School District's $1.2 billion Measure K Bond program. The JGMC IT Team selected and designed an Enterprise Content Management System to address Long Beach Unified School District's need for Document Control. Utilizing HP Blade Servers and VMWare ESX 5.11, the Team implemented a fully redundant virtual server farm, the first in the District to meet the Facilities and Maintenance Branch's Application Support needs, and then migrated both, Facilities and Maintenance's Novell Netware file servers, GroupWise post office, ECM, CAFM, and ticketing systems into the new virtual environment. The Team also redesigned the data backup strategy, using a Revinetix SAN system to ensure all 22TB of the Virtual Farm could be backed up to a disk.

Due to JGMC's success in 2014 the District asked JGMC to assume management of the over budget and extremely behind schedule $21 million District Wireless Project. The IT Team began by completing a network assessment and inventory of all 88 schools sites, redesigning the topology to ensure complete coverage of all educational spaces, technically advising the project management team as the project went into construction, built and lead the new technology project management team to a successful implementation granting a 1-to-1 access ratio to all students and staff at all of the District campus'. The project was completed 17 calendar days ahead of schedule, over $1 million under budget, and had zero change orders.

The Team has directed the District Technology Group to support two new school sites under construction. The projects included Newcomb K-8 and Roosevelt Elementary schools, The Team partnered with the existing construction management teams to assure all technology systems were installed correctly and on time, ensuring that Newcomb K-8 and Roosevelt Elementary schools opened on schedule.

JGMC has been tasked with taking over additional technology projects; including, IP based Security Cameras at 14 High Schools and one Middle School, assisted in design and implementation of Digital Intercom, Clocks and Speakers Systems at 87 campuses, and including Exterior Wireless Access Points at Middle Schools and High Schools, as well as supporting the new construction efforts at Browning High School and various modernization projects across the District.

We are the first responders to any technology issues. The Team has implemented a PC refresh cycle, replacing 25% of Facilities’ computers every year.

Through leadership, expertise and cooperation the Team has improved and fostered inter-department communication throughout the District, especially benefitting the Facilities and Technology Information Branches. JGMC has also developed and updated design specifications for Facilities to keep up with the newest technologies, demonstrating new technologies via my allowing vendors to showcase upcoming educational products and services to the District.
