Case Study: Brevard Public Schools enhances student learning and IT efficiency with Microsoft cloud and education solutions

Florida school district launches futures with cloud-based solutions

Brevard Public Schools, a large school district in Florida, faced the challenge of meeting the high technology expectations of its students with a limited budget and small IT staff. The district needed a secure, reliable computing environment that could support a wide variety of devices and applications while avoiding compatibility issues. Microsoft Corporation provided a solution centered on cloud-based technologies, including Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 365 Education.

By implementing Microsoft's solutions, the district created a blended learning environment that engaged students and streamlined IT management. The use of tools like OneNote, Sway, and Skype for Business fostered collaboration and career readiness, while management with System Center Configuration Manager and Azure increased IT efficiency. The results included a shift in teaching styles towards more individualized student support and significant progress toward the goal of a one-to-one device ratio for all students, empowering them to explore and innovate.
