Case Study: Decatur City Schools achieves proactive network visibility and reduced downtime with Fortra's Intermapper

How Decatur City Schools Manages Their Growing Network with Intermapper

Decatur City Schools, a school district in north Alabama, needed better visibility into a fast-growing network spread across 26 facilities. Before using Fortra’s Intermapper network monitoring service, the IT team relied on phone calls and paper work orders, making it difficult to know what was up or down and to respond quickly to outages or bandwidth issues.

Fortra’s Intermapper gave Decatur City Schools live network maps, custom alerts, bandwidth monitoring, and remote access, helping the team become proactive instead of reactive. The district now monitors more than 970 access points and thousands of devices, can spot problems like DNS outages immediately, and has reduced downtime while saving the equivalent of extra staff support.
