Heidi Felker
Opportunity
District needed help understanding how Microsoft and AARA could help them meet their needs.
Approach
Leveraging the Stimulus resources made available to the field, and with the support of PIL team, an RFI
document was created to outline needs of the district, Microsoft’s ability to respond and applicable AARA
funding mechanisms.
Outcome
1. Improved relationship with District Leadership and Microsoft
2. Clear opportunity outline and long term engagement strategy created
3. Increased position as “Trusted Advisor”
