Colorado Department of Education Case Study
Educators and administrators at the Colorado Department of Education have fast, reliable access to information and tools needed to do their jobs effectively. The IT department gets a more productive infrastructure for its money, spends far less time on infrastructure management, and has a clear, standardized, highly cost-effective growth path for future IT services.
"Virtualization, service orientation, and the Internet have converged to sponsor a phenomenon that enables individuals and businesses to choose how they'll acquire or deliver IT services, with reduced emphasis on the constraints of traditional software and hardware licensing models."
- CHRIS HOWARD, RESEARCH VICE PRESIDENT, GARTNER
