Case Study: Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit (IU5) achieves efficient, scalable asset management and faster audits with Civica Parago

IU5 needed an asset management system that would work efficiently at scale

IU5 (Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit), which serves 17 public and non‑public school districts, needed an asset management system that would work efficiently at scale. After trying several solutions, IU5 selected Civica’s Parago — an education‑focused, icon‑orientated asset management product that offered the specific functionality and ease of use they were missing.

Civica implemented Parago with a discovery agent, mobile apps and an icon‑based dashboard that capture full device specifications, check software update status, track non‑IT items, and maintain a complete audit trail from purchase to end of life. The Parago deployment let IU5 audit locations in a fraction of the time, move assets in bulk via cut‑and‑paste during annual checks, and reduce manual work through automation — delivering clear time savings and faster, more accurate asset management for IU5.
