Simplifying Client Management

“The district is always looking for ways to save money and drive down costs. Sharing services helps keep costs down for both the district and residents of the town. How far we can stretch as humans is very limited. Altiris Management Suite for Dell Clients is helping us stretch farther.”

- Greg Taylor, shared services technology coordinator, Delsea Regional School District, United States

With 1,300 endpoints distributed across nine buildings, Delsea Regional School District’s IT staff spent a lot of time driving between sites and visiting machines. Summer client hardware refreshes took three months to complete.

Delsea implemented Altiris^®  Management Suite^TM  for Dell Clients to allow its staff of three people to manage the client systems more efficiently without adding headcount.
