Today many schools don’t have a sufficient budget to buy the computers they need. Plus, finding money for ongoing maintenance and support can be a challenge. In Addition, schools need innovative ways to get the most out of previous technology investments. One of the most important factors in school’s operations is their IT system. Schools need to ensure that their systems are operating efficiently and securely in order to provide the best education to each student. Windows MultiPoint Server is a new system that allows teachers to monitor student activity and help students stay focused on their studies. The system operates by having a central point for one server with multiple monitors, mice, keyboards etc. branching out to each student. One host computer is shared by multiple users simultaneously, enabling schools to reduce overall costs by 66% by saving on hardware, energy, and maintenance.

  • Provides a learning experience for students to function more efficiently in a job market
