<br /> The CDW Emerging Tech practice helps Sourcewell Members enhance their technology

<br /> Emerging Tech to help achieve business goals, drive innovation, and open doors to new
<br /> solution strategies enabled with technology. Through Transformation Workshops, Sourcewell
<br /> Members work with CDWG subject matter experts to better understand data needs,
<br /> determine return on investment, and evaluate foundational infrastructure to determine if any
<br /> technical components should be retired, evolved, or added.
<br /> Two public sector examples of CDWG's commitment to maximizing advances in technology
<br /> products and solutions are detailed below — Public Safety and Esports.
<br /> Public Safety. Technology has come a long way from being merely a convenience to being
<br /> a must-have for public safety. Today's offerings can raise operational efficiency, ease the
<br /> constraints of distance, speed critical communication, and heighten safety for everyone. But
<br /> transformation can be difficult. Between technology's rapid-fire changes and public safety's
<br /> inherent rules, needs and challenges, Sourcewell Members need a special kind of
<br /> knowledge to make IT perform — without having to be an expert.
<br /> CDWG's Public Safety Technology Strategists help guide customers to the most impactful
<br /> choices — addressing requirements, policies, and strategies, with outcome-based design and
<br /> implementation. Our public safety capabilities include:
<br /> Video. Cut travel time. Create force multipliers. Raise situational awareness and
<br /> speed response. Do remotely what was once possible only in person with solutions that
<br /> include in-vehicle video, capture, and management; body-worn cameras; interview room
<br /> monitoring; fixed security; surveillance; analytics; collaboration and telepresence; and case
<br /> management.
<br /> Mobility. Accelerate collaboration and communication from anywhere with mobile data;
<br /> laptops and tablets; data collection and scanners; mobile printing; GPS and automatic
<br /> vehicle location; mobile access routers; Wi-Fi solutions; advanced authentication; VPN and
<br /> mobile software; and cloud solutions.
<br /> Data Center. Support growing data loads. Ensure enough bandwidth for increasingly
<br /> complex communication. Keep it all secure with solutions that include servers and storage
<br /> area networks; hyperconverged infrastructure; backup and recovery; virtualization;
<br /> cybersecurity; unified communications; enterprise wireless; alert and mass notification
<br /> systems; and power and cooling.
<br /> Esports. With years of experience and deep partnerships with leading gaming
<br /> manufacturers, CDWG partners with Sourcewell Members to help develop a comprehensive
<br /> Esports solution. Handling the data center, networking, Esports arena design, and game
<br /> streaming, CDWG can help with every step of the Sourcewell Member's Esports program.

<br /> take their game to the next level, we offer solutions for all Esports IT needs.

<br /> hands-on experience in educational settings, offer solution consultation sessions with
<br /> Sourcewell Members across K-12 and Higher Education to help design and implement
