Managing ICT Budgets: Customer Comments

Roding Valley High School, Essex

Mrs Karen Salmons, Business Manager, comments:

"We were in a position of having to refresh most of our PC stock all at once and a reduction in budget meant that this was going to be a near impossible task. However, by working with Precedence, we were able to maximise the budget available by converting to thin-clients and virtual desktops. As a result, we were able to "refresh" our entire PC stock, and it only took three days! In addition, and all within the same budget, we are also using centralised storage with server virtualisation which means we now have a very flexible approach to our ICT.

"This gives us options each year not only to stay where we are but also to expand and be innovative in our use of ICT across the curriculum."
