For us, the Edge TeCHS contract afforded us the ability to have a vehicle that we can build a strategy design, rather than just buying software and hardware. The software is always the easy piece, but this allows us to look holistically at what avenue we can use to combine all these components and successfully build out strategies. With this contract, we've been able to develop some of our bigger projects.

Besides the conferences, I find value in numerous Edge membership benefits for the University, especially the importance of the consortium buying power to a school. FDU's involvement with Edge's EdgeMarket allows its members the ability to obtain products that are in high demand at the most cost competitive pricing available with services ranging from Amazon Web Serivce (AWS) to cybersecurity solutions, Microsoft licensing, and cloud and internet services.

Edge recently negotiated an agreement with Amazon Web Services and I believe this is a great example of how Edge provides value to its membership. Edge serves as a procurement vehicle and I'm excited about being a part of it. Edge takes care of the RFP process and negotiates contracts on behalf of its members. There is tremendous opportunity for growth in what NJEdge provides and what other services can negotiate on behalf of its members. If Edge can take off of our plates this frees us up to spend time on other initiatives that can have more impact on our institutions.
