This gives the school a flexible, fully manages, and secure desktop computing environment for its students to use while also helping it save 20% of IT operational budget per year. The Polytechnic is also currently expanding its work in the cloud and is in the process of testing to move its eLearning platforms to AWS. this is bringing projected savings of 20% over its previous on-premises system,” said Carlson.
