The benefits of implementing PCLM in conjunction with End-User computing for the 21st century are:
-
Reduction in energy consumption.
-
An inventory of all computing assets.
-
Secured and managed end-points.
-
Reduction in software licensing costs.
-
Enhanced end-user experience.
-
Ensuring that the machines are properly configured and with the right NYCDOE system images.
-
Providing notification on assets that have failed to report in x number of days.
-
Managing PC refresh cycles to their lowest cost of use.
-
Helping to reduce the achievement gap through equality for all schools, regardless of the overall academic performance.
-
Computers and storage for everyone.
| -
Centrally deploying OS patches on-time.
-
Increased security.
-
Performance of trend analysis.
-
Generation of reports on-demand.
-
Enabling the organization to invest wisely when it is time to purchase new machines.
-
Providing asset visibility across the enterprise: knowing exactly where the assets are located on the network.
-
Avoidance of payment for licenses installed on retired computers.
-
Promoting Digital Citizenship
-
Enhancing teaching and learning using the latest technology
|
Additional benefits include:
-
Supporting innovation and broadening the boundary of the learning environment by providing access beyond the limits of the classroom schedule
-
Enabling students to interact and provide a global classroom, which allows our teachers and administrators to concentrate on teaching, and not on managing desktop and access issues.
.
If not implemented, the schools will continue to be unmanaged, and impede the process for taking classrooms into the 21st century. This also prevents us from moving towards the development of a sustainable computing environment. Without the right foundation, we will continue to operate inefficiently, and we are unlikely to lower total cost of ownership due to ever-growing demand for storage and computing. Governing the PCLM process from asset acquisition to retirement is the key to ensure efficiency, lowering our TCO over time.
