Rationalization and standardization of equipment from HP enables the School District
of Hillsborough County to remain focused on delivering excellent education.
The School District of Hillsborough County (SDHC) has the immense responsibility of educating over 180,000 kindergarten through twelfth grade students in its 183 schools and 65 additional centers (including Charter, Early Child and Exceptional Student Education (ESE)).
The use of technology is key to the effective delivery of many of the classes and critical to the optimal running of the District. When faced with an increasing burden of support for a burgeoning array of PCs, the District looked to HP for a streamlined, value-added solution that also had the ability to extend beyond its borders and into the local community.
“To standardize and update the District’s technology, we needed to evaluate equipment purchases on the basis of the total cost of ownership. Under our partnership with HP, the standardization of devices throughout the School District has meant our teachers can remain focused on educating students, and our IT staff has been able to train quickly and comprehensively, making it highly successful at maintaining the availability of the technology. In turn, the simplified support environment saves us money, and we are particularly enjoying the ability to engage the local community in our technology program at a more affordable level. To ensure the success of the relationship, HP actively participates in our planning and professional development, helping us with new ideas and fresh ways to look at things.”
