From Good to Great; Red Deer selects SchoolBundle

SchoolBundle is proud to announce we have been chosen as the solution provider for Red Deer Public School Division as their Unified Communications Platform (UCP).

"Websites are a key area for school divisions to distinguish themselves, communicating their brand and message. We wanted a platform that would provide us with a look that reflects who our school division is, while still supporting our schools to showcase their individuality. We want to be the best choice for education in our community and our website needs to reflect that. We chose SchoolBundle to help make this goal a reality." - Bruce Buruma, Director of Community Relations & Corporate Secretary

Background

Red Deer Public School Division serves the city of Red Deer, Alberta and is the eighth largest division in the province. Providing education for 11,000 students, Red Deer Public Schools has12 elementary schools, four K - 8 schools, three middle schools and two high schools as well as a variety of alternative programs throughout the Division.

The Problem

With their current website provider ending support, Red Deer Public Schools saw an opportunity to take their websites from good to great. A major factor of consideration was ensuring their new platform would be easy to use and navigate for anyone from staff to parents, students and the broader community.

“We looked at the technical capacity when choosing our new platform and we wanted to ensure that our choice offered a very user-friendly content management system interface. We looked at the work vendors had actually done, the design and user interface, to see if they matched the vision we had for Red Deer Public Schools.” - Ron Eberts, Associate Superintendent, Technology Services

The Solution

Following a rigorous request for proposal process, Red Deer Public Schools chose SchoolBundle to support them in transitioning their online presence from good to great. After consulting with their schools, Red Deer Public Schools knew they needed a content management system that met their needs and would be an effective and efficient solution. The work SchoolBundle has done with other divisions across Canada solidified their choice and confidence in working together to deliver the best websites possible as a part of their comprehensive communications strategy.
