Case Study: Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario achieves connected, reliable learning with Microsoft cloud services

Catholic District School Board Of Eastern Ontario - Customer Case Study

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, a public school district in rural Canada, faced significant challenges due to its large geographic area and moderate budget, which resulted in poor internet connectivity and inadequate IT support for its students and teachers. To address this, they partnered with Microsoft Corporation and adopted Microsoft cloud services, including Office 365 and Azure, to create a more reliable and productive hybrid-cloud environment.

The solution from Microsoft involved centralizing the district's web presence on Azure and deploying Office 365 for communication, collaboration, and content sharing. This implementation resulted in a network connection with 100 times more bandwidth, the ability to store a petabyte of data, and remote IT support capabilities. Microsoft's cloud services empowered teachers with better tools and enabled students to become more connected to their education and future opportunities.
