Case Study: Junior Achievement of Manitoba achieves future-proof IT and greater productivity with Microsoft Corporation

PCM builds a future-proof IT solution with Microsoft Surface Pro

Junior Achievement of Manitoba, a Canadian nonprofit focused on youth business and financial education, needed a more modern IT setup to support a volunteer-led board and growing operational demands. Faced with a planned $19,000 capital expense for servers, licensing, devices, networking, and Microsoft Office, the organization turned to Microsoft Corporation and PCM Canada’s Evolve program with Surface Pro 4 and Office 365.

Microsoft Corporation’s solution helped Junior Achievement of Manitoba shift from a large upfront investment to a predictable monthly cost of about $95 per user, per month. The result was easier file sharing, stronger workflows, flexible work anywhere with Surface Pro 4, and access to cloud storage, training, and 24/7 support—improving productivity while reducing IT burden and freeing more budget for programs.
