Case Study: Keys School improves network reliability and frees IT to focus on student support with Meter

Meter frees Keys School and Knowing Technologies to focus on protecting and supporting students, not network issues

Keys School, an independent school, faced a significant challenge with a costly licensing renewal for its existing network hardware, which was nearing $100,000. This high upfront cost and the operational pressure of managing the network across two campuses threatened to disrupt services for its 350+ students and staff. The school's managed service provider, Knowing Technologies, recommended they try Meter to address these issues.

Meter implemented a solution with its simplified operational expense model, replacing the large upfront cost with one simple monthly bill. This included lifetime hardware upgrades and significant overprovisioning of access points to eliminate dead zones. The results were immediate cost savings and a vastly more reliable network. Furthermore, Meter's proactive support team often identifies and resolves issues before the customer is even aware of them. This partnership freed up Knowing Technologies to focus on more strategic initiatives like cybersecurity, allowing both the school and the MSP to operate more effectively.
