Sterlin Adams, director of university planning and analysis at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, says FAMU officials have met with WANLink executives and they are actively discussing potential projects at the Florida campus. He says the company, based on its alliances with other companies and its expertise, appears to have the resources "to be a player in this arena."
"Among companies that are serving as technology integrators in the higher education market, they seem to be about as strong as any other," Adams said.
He added that the idea of getting HBCUs to work together on information technology initiatives is a valid one.
"I think that activity has merit even with the diversity of resources on respective campuses. In looking at HBCUs, there's value in having them jointly plan and move towards goals for technology."
