The Forsyth County School District - noted for its exceptionally high student achievement levels and its integration of technology in curricula - currently supports over 13,000 PCs, a ratio of better than one PC for every two students. The Forsyth County School District needed to reduce the total cost of ownership, improve reliability, availability and quality of the IT infrastructure, optimize training and support with existing staff and make technology accessible and understandable to students. Having settled on standardizing with HP PCs, the District involved HP with further equipment selection, helping design a support program, and planning distribution logistics for the entire district. Today, with a standardized PC environment in place, IT support in the Forsyth District is greatly simplified - and quite unique - because of student involvement.
