TAILORED CONSULTING EXPERTISE

CSM Consulting is proud to be the largest E-Rate consulting firm in the country. We help schools and libraries get the most out of their funding by accurately calculating the real cost of services and guiding them through every step of the filing process—that’s what we call the “CSM Way.”

Our team knows E-Rate inside and out. Many of our experts have passed a tough industry exam, met strict experience requirements, and kept up with continuing education to earn the title of Certified E-Rate Management Professional (CEMP).

OUR CONSULTING PROCESS

PLANNING

Each year, CSM begins with a strategic planning meeting to review existing services and discuss any new technology needs. We assist in identifying what qualifies for E-Rate funding and outline the steps needed to maximize available resources. This collaborative process encompasses project planning, procurement requirements, budget estimates, and timelines to ensure a smooth, successful, and compliant filing process.

FILING

CSM helps clients navigate the complexities of the
E-Rate program and filing process from start to finish. We handle the preparation and submission of all required FCC forms with USAC, including managing the competitive bidding process with Form 470 and compiling all necessary information for Form 471 and funding requests.

CONNECTION

The E-Rate program is constantly evolving and CSM’s team of consultants provide the extensive knowledge, experience and dedication required for success. Our goal at CSM is to help you navigate the E-Rate process and keep you informed of any program announcements and new funding opportunities.
