“
Our teaching and learning strategy had to convert to fully online very quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Mediasite certainly helped with that transition. Being able to deploy Mediasite cost effectively through MCNC gave our College and faculty a simple way to record lectures from home.

“
On behalf of my entire campus, I want to thank the whole MCNC team for all of the work done in the past few months during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as projects going forward. Providing Zoom Pro licenses has helped our campus greatly during this pandemic. MCNC continues to be one of the best and most reliable partners the State has ever had.

“
We’re driven today by partnering with economic development leaders like MCNC to provide real-time education capabilities and job training to build and create jobs in North Carolina. New technology helps these students experience synchronous and asynchronous learning using leading-edge video tools and self-driven/user-driven applications such as Movi at a much lower cost."

“
The service, support and guidance we receive from MCNC continue to be a vital part of our technology efforts. Our MCNC Internet service, firewall, and cloud-based content filter are all integral to our school's success - and these ultimately allow us to have the tools that fulfill our chartered mission, providing a college prep education for our students. When we have technology issues, our staff can rely on the sound advice and problem-solving ability we always receive whenever we have to seek MCNC Client Network Engineering (CNE) support. We cannot thank MCNC and their staff enough for all that they do to support us.

One of the great things about working with MCNC is that they understand that access to medical applications [through broadband service] is a life and death issue.”

“
The service paid for itself in one phishing attack! When folks clicked the email document, it looked like nothing happened, however, when I investigated, I found out that the document was redirecting them to a site that was being blocked by the DNS filtering service. If it hadn’t been for the DNS Filtering Service, we would have been hit hard.”

“
As a small college, it’s been tremendously valuable to have a team of security professionals we can reach out to when we need guidance. MCNC’s Advisory Services helped us maintain operations during a staff vacancy, and even now that we’re fully staffed, we continue to rely on them for advice, consulting and perspective when our team has questions of concerns. MCNC has been a great partner for years in bandwidth and hosting, and it’s great to get their help in security, too.”
