Case Study: Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools saves hundreds of thousands with Absolute Software

Hundreds of thousands saved makes Absolute a “no brainer” for Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools

The customer, Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools (KCKPS), faced a challenge when launching a 1:1 computing program. The school, parents, and community were concerned about student safety and the potential for device theft, which also threatened the program's tight IT budget. To address these concerns and gain approval for the initiative, the district needed a reliable security solution.

The vendor, Absolute Software, provided its endpoint security and theft recovery solution. The cloud-based platform was easy to deploy and required no extra infrastructure. The solution's proven recovery capabilities and a service guarantee of up to $1,000 for unrecovered devices helped gain community trust. Absolute helped KCKPS save over $100,000 in measurable costs from recoveries and the guarantee, with estimated total savings from deterrence reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars.
