eRate is an opportunity for your school to receive a substantial “rebate” for your communications that your school currently uses. However, the forms are complicated and the process is time-consuming. Thanks to Dan Burns’ leadership and assistance, our school will receive nearly $10,000 this year. It is money we would never have gotten on our own.

After visiting CTI’s website, I requested to be contacted for additional information. I promptly received a call from Dan who explained how their services worked and performed a background check on our filing practices in prior years.

After beginning their services, I was turned over to one of CTI’s eRate Filing Specialist who then performed all the necessary steps for our filing for the year 2005-06.  I have been very pleased with their knowledge and abilities to maximize our funding and look forward to a long relationship with CTI.  CTI does this service at a very reasonable rate and knows what they are doing.

For the time needed to keep up with all the changes and mandatory requirements, it’s obvious that the ROI is better having a qualified consultant take care of this vital funding for our schools and free myself up for other obligations. If you would like any additional information about our relationship with CTI, feel free to give me a call.

We employed Dan Burns of CTI Communication Technologies, to assist us in designing a new telephone system to better serve our district. Circle USD 375 has six schools buildings, a district office, and three service buildings. The scope of the project was to connect all our buildings with voice and data using as much of the existing equipment as practical.

Mr. Burns designed a very workable system, presented us with several options and guided us through the process of selecting the plan to fit our needs and our budget.

I am pleased with the consulting work he has done for us, to the point that we have asked him to assist us with other tasks, including managing our eRate program.

I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Burns and CTI to those who need expertise and guidance in communications systems. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 316-541-2577

Thank you so much for helping Indian Rocks Christian School with its eRate filing. We could not have accomplished this without your help at CTI. Before speaking to you, I would not have known about the thousands of technology dollars that were available for our school.

Also, thank you for your assistance with the actual filing process. You were very helpful in explaining exactly what it was we needed to do. You helped us meet all the proper deadlines so we could be assured of our eRate dollars. Feel free to use Indian Rocks Christian as a reference with your future customers.

Before I met Dan Burns I had never heard of eRate, so entered the contractual relationship a little hesitant. I  had thoughts such as “Is a good thing too good to be true?  Will we really save money?  Is this just a waste of our time and money?”  But at the urging of my more risk-taking co-worker, we decided to pursue the government discount through CTI.  To my amazement, the process worked.  CTI took care of all the details for us, was professional, competent, and continues to file for us so that we don’t have to think about all the details and dates that go into the application process.  Each year we save thousands of dollars on our internet and phone bills, and as a small private school, this helps us immensely.  Thank you CTI!

Imagine Schools has been working with CTI for 10 years now, we are still very pleased with their knowledge and abilities to maximize our ERATE discounts for our schools. CTI makes sure we meet all our deadlines for filing all forms, after 10 years we are still very pleased with the services they offer and I would recommend them to any school or library participating in the ERATE program.

Clovis Christian Schools is grateful for the expertise and customer service that CTI has provided these last 11 years to complete the eRate filing process on its behalf. Erate filing can feel like a daunting and time-consuming task when navigating all the steps, timelines, and forms that must be filed annually. CTI accurately performs each of these tasks, meeting every deadline set by the USAC. As a result, I can focus on other pressing needs with confidence.

CTI understands that a small, private Christian school must make the most out of every dollar budgeted to meet operational needs. Their cost-effective work on our behalf to secure much-needed technology funds never goes unnoticed. We consider CTI to be our valued partner in education. They are committed to assisting us in providing an optimal network and technology services that support student success.

I highly recommend CTI’s eRate filing services to any school seeking to secure federal technology dollars. You will not be disappointed.

The Miller R-2 School District has been associated with CTI for several years, and they have been instrumental in helping us not only recover several years worth of past funds for telephony services, they’ve also been extremely beneficial in assisting us with accessing Category 2 funding for our district-wide wireless project a few years back.  With their help, we were able to successfully utilize Category 2 funding to improve our district’s infrastructure with new fiber connections and wireless access points in every classroom.  We are currently working with them again on a new Category 2 project to further improve our infrastructure, and are confident we will succeed in our request with CTI’s assistance and direction.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.

Thanks,

At CII, although I have only done business with CTI for a short time, I am pleased with the services that we have received regarding the filing of our eRate online application. In the past years this process is something I have always taken care of myself but because of an additional workload, the decision was made to find an outside entity to assist us in our eRate applications.

Timing was perfect when we were contacted by CTI after evaluating their capabilities in their area, I was confident that CTI would be able to identify our maximum qualifications for eRate. I have been pleased with CTI’s assistance in the filing process of Form 470 and I am confident that deadlines for filing of all eRate forms will be met.

CTI is very informative in what our options are in this area an also in taking the helm to make sure everything is completed. He has been timely in contacting us prior to specific dates for completing the next step. I find this type of customer service rare and it has taken some pressure off my schedule.

Without hesitation, I would recommend their services and would invite a phone call to confirm my recommendation.
