NJDRLAP-Broadband Recap

Conceived by New Jersey Dept. of Education (NJDOE) Component of three-part effort to improve K-12 technologyNJDRLAP-Broadband focused on improving Internet access

Concept:

Use cooperative purchasing to combine buying power of schools statewide to drive down prices and increase service

9Slide10

Bottom Line

Why did it work? Because the consortium procurement reduced the price per unit of bandwidth to a point where schools could significantly increase the quantity of Internet access purchased10

NJDRLAP-Broadband reduced the price of Internet access by 76 percent for 145 participating school organizations across New Jersey, increasing their bandwidth 2.5 times while saving them $89 million

Return on investment of 7,700 percent Slide11
