Case Study: Menasha Joint School District streamlines computer lab imaging with SmartDeploy

Menasha Joint School District increases IT reliability by switching from Microsoft SCCM to SmartDeploy

The Menasha Joint School District, a public K-12 district in Wisconsin, faced a significant challenge with its computer lab refresh process. Their existing tool, Microsoft SCCM, was complex, unreliable, and required excessive time to troubleshoot, which was a major problem given their small technology team and tight three-month summer deadline for deploying images to all their PCs.

By implementing SmartDeploy, the district found a much simpler and more reliable imaging solution. SmartDeploy’s automated Platform Packs saved considerable time on driver management, and its ease of use ensured all deployments were completed reliably before staff and students returned. This saved the systems engineer days of troubleshooting, and the responsive US-based support provided crucial help. The total value, when factoring in the time saved, far outweighed the solution's cost, making SmartDeploy the clear winner.
