15 Pike County Schools: Delivers modern education without incurring modern costs with help from IBM Business Challenge With 27 educational facilities, Pike County Schools struggled to keep modern computing systems available to all students across the district. And this struggle only grew more difficult when recent budget cuts reduced the school district s funds by 80%. Committed to delivering a quality education to all of its students, Pike County Schools needed a new computing system that could bypass the limitations of its hardware. Solution SBDC based on virtual desktop Client application infrastructure moved from local systems to remote operating environment Users access via Web browser or boot-from-cd system We no longer worry about what hardware is in the school as much. We also no longer worry about the applications or processes that the schools are using because they are the same for everyone. Maritta Horne, chief information officer and director of technology, Pike County Schools Benefits Superior ROI: Improved the functionality of computer systems for 64% of the cost of replacing the outdated hardware Enhanced lifecycle: Enabled district to use workstations longer and bring outdated equipment back online while supporting newer software and systems Helped the district deliver the same quality of education to students across the county, regardless of the availability of hardware Solution components: IBM Desktop Cloud Services 15

Many influencers have indicated that client virtualization is the next best opportunity space for significant cost takeout and quick ROI. Benefits can include significant TCO savings, higher security, easier management and operations, improved productivity and so on. Approach this as a business decision versus a technology decision because the benefits are strategic and far reaching. Partner with a trusted advisor who has real experience and capability to guide or support your analysis and implementation. Get started now because this can provide a competitive advantage and afford real cost benefits in both the short and long term.
