Case Study: The Odyssey School achieves greater classroom visibility and time savings with Impero Software's Impero Education Pro

The Odyssey School - Customer Case Study

The Odyssey School, a K–8 Maryland school serving 162 students (with 150+ devices and an 1:1 middle school laptop program), needed a modern classroom management solution after SMART Technologies phased out and stopped supporting SMART Sync, which had become unreliable. The school evaluated options and selected Impero Education Pro from vendor Impero Software to replace the unsupported product.

Using SMART’s recommended upgrade pathway and license credits, The Odyssey School implemented Impero Education Pro with support from Impero Software; the small IT team completed a smooth rollout and teachers quickly adopted features like live thumbnail monitoring, remote power-on, web/file push, screen lock/broadcast and Active Directory user/device visibility. The result: measurable time savings (no longer walking around 12 computers to power them on), stronger classroom oversight and behavior monitoring, reliable connectivity across wired and wireless devices for its 1:1 program, and increasing teacher demand for more Impero Software licenses.
