Case Study: Brainerd Public Schools reduces costs and improves user satisfaction with Tricerat Simplify Suite

Brainerd Public School cuts $3,200 in annual Citrix costs with Tricerat

Brainerd Public Schools, a large Minnesota school district, faced significant challenges supporting its technology on a tight budget. Its deployment of Terminal Server labs and Citrix led to high costs and administrative inefficiencies, requiring technicians to travel long distances for minor issues. The district sought a solution from vendor Tricerat to reduce operational costs and improve user satisfaction without relying on problematic roaming profiles.

Tricerat implemented its Simplify Suite solution, initially deploying it on 900 clients. This eliminated the need for roaming profiles, allowed for secure desktop deployment, and resolved printing issues. The solution significantly reduced support effort and downtime, leading to increased performance and productivity. Brainerd achieved a lower total cost of operation, saving thousands of dollars annually and allowing its technology to better serve its educational mission.
