Case Study: The Priory School achieves 15-minute workstation provisioning and automated software deployment with New Boundary's Prism Deploy

The Priory School - Customer Case Study

The Priory School in Orpington, England is a coeducational secondary school with roughly 1,400 students and an IT estate of about 492 workstations and 11 servers spread across seven buildings. The IT team struggled with an outsourced, proprietary deployment system that could only provision eight machines at a time, often took two hours or more per batch, produced unreliable .msi packages and provided little reporting — making large rebuilds and license tracking difficult and time-consuming.

By adopting New Boundary Technologies’ Prism Deploy, the school automated packaging and distribution, hosted the deploy server on-site and used a dedicated packaging PC. Provisioning times fell from over two hours to under 15 minutes per workstation, enabling the IT staff to reformat and reprovision all 492 machines during a single summer break, improve license reporting and compliance, reduce troubleshooting to quick reimages, and realize a full return on the investment with the first major deployment.
