Wynndalco Enterprises' Work with Puerto Rico Department of Education

An entrepreneur in Chicago, David Andalcio is the CEO of Wynndalco Enterprises LLC, which provides managed warehousing, configuration, deployment, and scheduling services for Chicago Public Schools and PACE, the city's busing system in the suburbs. Under David Andalcio’s leadership, the company has expanded its operations to several states and Puerto Rico, where it has helped the public schools to recover E-Rate funding, a form of financial support made available to schools and libraries through the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). 

Wynndalco Enterprises has helped the Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE) revitalize its E-Rate funding program. Since the company began assisting with the program, funding has increased each year, and the PRDE has gained credibility with the Universal Service Administration Company, the administrative agency which distributes the funds. Between 2009 and 2015, the PRDE had nearly $120,000,000 in funding commitment, thanks in part to the assistance provided by the consultants at Wynndalco. 

In addition to assisting with the E-Rate funding program, Wynndalco has helped the PRDE to create infrastructure standards and guidelines. Wynndalco also created a technology plan for PRDE. The PRDE has expressed its gratitude to the company for the professionalism and effectiveness of its consultants in advising the department on these and other matters.

In 2016, the Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE) issued a formal recommendation for Wynndalco’s in-depth E-Rate funding services. Chief information officer Maribel Pico Piereschi praised the highly-qualified staff for their commitment to effective E-Rate funding processes, noting the critical importance of the program to Puerto Rico’s academic offerings and the team’s unwavering dedication to enhancing the program at every turn.

Additional achievements highlighted by the chief information officer included the team’s ability to enhance communication between PRDE and the Universal Service Administration Company (USAC), as well as the development of an informative technology plan to effectively guide PRDE into the future of education.
