Mainstream Helps Arkansas Department of Education Lead U.S. in Important Data Quality Initiative

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LITTLE ROCK, December 12, 2011 - Mainstream Technologies, a Little Rock-based software solutions and IT service provider, is proud to have played a role in helping Arkansas rank first among the 50 states in taking action toward expanding data development with the goal of improving educational policy throughout the state, an achievement announced recently by the Data Quality Campaign.

Mainstream has worked with the Arkansas Department of Education to create a data library that will give state policymakers critical information as they work to expand college and career readiness for all students.

“Mainstream Technologies has been an instrumental partner in developing Arkansas’ new Statewide Information System, in part enabling the Department of Education to be ranked first among states by the Data Quality Campaign for its information systems,” says Jim Boardman, ADE’s assistant commissioner for research and technology. “We continue to utilize Mainstream’s broad IT services and expert development skills to build next-generation systems and empower stakeholders with vital tools for data-driven decision making.”

According to the report by the Data Quality Campaign, a national, collaborative effort to encourage and support state policy makers to improve the availability and use of high-quality education data to improve student achievement, “Arkansas leads the nation with nine of 10 state actions and providing cutting-edge, real-time data access and reporting.”

The campaign’s survey shows that no state has done more than Arkansas to undertake the campaign’s recommended actions to ensure effective data use. Arkansas is the only state to have taken nine of the 10 recommended actions.

Looking to the Future

Just 15 to 20 years ago technology was considered to be a "nice to have" tool for business. Thermal fax machines were novel and utilized by large businesses only. Computers required considerable office space and environmentals. Intercoms were the most common means of interoffice communication. As technology became more pervasive and therefore less expensive, businesses invested in technology much like inventory or office furniture.

Fast-forward to today's business world and you'll find that technology sits at the center of most every business. Some continue to consider it optional tools, but the reality is that technology now drives all business processes. Technology enables efficiencies that reduce labor; it creates standard processes that eliminates waste and errors; it even bridges the gap between multiple disparate technology systems.

"So what?" you ask. Maintaining your IT investment is far more critical today than ever. System failure, data loss, outdated technology and misconfigured technology can cost your business dearly, not to mention the mental stress. Does your business have the appropriate expertise assuring business continuity, efficiency and process management? Are you depending on your desktop support personnel to provide decision points for your overall IT infrastructure? Does your existing IT staff have the time to deliver new technology projects timely and effectively? Are there better ways of taking your existing technology investments and provisioning them for future needs?

Technology has become the center of your business' universe. Mainstream can provide your business with objective, professional and expert insight that can reduce your costs, improve your processes, and give your business the competitive differentiation needed in today's environment.
