Case Study: Utah Valley University refreshes computer labs faster with SmartDeploy

Utah Valley University refreshes computer labs 75% faster after switching from Microsoft SCCM

Utah Valley University, the largest public university in Utah, faced a significant challenge in efficiently refreshing over 1,100 computers across its numerous labs each summer. With a small IT team, they needed a faster and more reliable imaging solution than the previous tools they had tested over a decade, which were time-consuming and hardware-dependent. They turned to SmartDeploy for a modern deployment solution.

By implementing SmartDeploy, the university gained a streamlined imaging process that supports dissimilar hardware through a single image and a vast library of driver packs. The results were dramatic, with the time to reimage a 56-computer lab dropping from four or five hours to just about one hour. This saved the small IT team countless hours of valuable technician time, allowing them to complete their large-scale refreshes efficiently and reliably.
