Pike County Desktops as a Service Customer Spotlight

Recorded on December 9, 2008

Ensuring that faculty, staff and students have equal access to IT resources is critical to providing quality K-12 education. However, like many educational institutions, Pike County Schools was grappling with the inherent disparity that stems from limited funding and staggered PC purchasing. By switching to Desktone-based desktops as a service (DaaS), provided by IBM, Pike County's 25 schools are now on the path to equality.

Hear Maritta Horne, CIO for Pike County Schools, describe why Pike said yes to DaaS, and how it is helping them provide equitable, universal and secure IT access, while making it easier for their IT department to manage their county-wide desktops — even in the face of budget constraints.
