Using Absolute's solution and services, Prince George's County has:

  • Implemented a paperless, more efficient asset tracking system, allowing IT techs to see the location of over 40,000 laptops, desktops and mobile computers county-wide
  • Saved over $47,000 annually on teacher laptop hand-out/take-back tasks
  • Reduced computer losses by approximately 95% per year,
  • Increased use of laptops in the classroom, benefiting teachers, students, and the community

 

 

 

Prince George's County Public Schools is the 18th largest school system in the U.S., with 134,000 students and 16,000 full time employees, including 10,000 teachers. With one laptop for every teacher and a 5:1 student to computer ratio, Prince George's has nearly 40,000 computers spread over 209 schools. Prior to 2004, asset management and software license counts were done by hand, and IT techs spent about 8 days a year distributing laptops to teaching staff.
