Case Study: Ohio School District speeds up lab refreshes with SmartDeploy

An Ohio school district speeds image deployment to labs by 98 percent after switching from KACE K2000

An Ohio school district, managing over 2,200 devices across nine campuses, faced significant challenges with slow and complex computer lab refreshes using their legacy Dell KACE K2000 solution. Their IT team of four was spending up to four days to reimage a single 100-computer lab, hampered by slow deployment speeds, difficult driver management, and a lack of adequate support. Seeking a more efficient imaging solution, they turned to SmartDeploy Enterprise.

By implementing SmartDeploy, the district achieved a 98% improvement in deployment speed, allowing technicians to image 15 computers in just 15 minutes. The solution's Platform Packs simplified driver management, reducing the time spent on that task by 93%. Overall, the school district is saving over 1,000 IT hours per year, enabling the team to focus on other critical projects while ensuring labs are refreshed quickly and reliably.
