About
EDUNET
|
| Throughout its history, EDUNET has managed technological change, which is essential for a software company. Starting with service work for mainframes in the 70's and moving to time-sharing services and minicomputers in the early 80's, EDUNET then advanced to personal computers and Local Area Networks in the late 80's and early 90's. When technology changes, the EDUNET solution changes, always with a school district's perspective in mind. |
