Money saved on unused software! Education process improved! Well done, WorkTime!

Significant savings on educational software

Industry: Education Country: USA Size: 3,000 employees Issue/challenge: Educational software is costly. Employees of this school board work hard to keep the educational process effective and up-to-date. They recognize that purchasing software for children is essential. The challenge is to maintain a balance between the effectiveness of the educational process and spending taxpayers' money wisely. So, the question is: Is this expensive educational software actually being used? Solution: WorkTime Cloud Result: Taxpayers' money saved, software spending is now supported by real data.

A school board in the U.S. decided to use WorkTime to audit software usage by staff and students to make more informed decisions when investing in to educational software. Monitoring approximately 2,500 computers, the results were astonishing to the school board managers!

Issue/challenge

This U.S. school board had a few challenges:

Improving the educational process and keeping it up-to-date.
Making informed and reasonable decisions when purchasing educational software.
Ensuring that any software integrated into the educational process is actually used.

Solution

WorkTime Cloud was chosen as the solution for this challenge. Its installation is seamless, the product is rich in features, and it covers all the needs of this U.S. school board. For example, WorkTime reports show application and website usage. Additionally, WorkTime offers custom tags for grouping the software and websites, such as Math Grade 6, English Grade 10, or any other tags.

Usage

The usage was very straightforward. The school board began monitoring software and website usage and discovered that much of the very expensive software was barely used. This was a shocking result for them, and their initial thought was that there might be a problem with WorkTime's monitoring algorithms. The WorkTime team and the school board had a meeting to review every single line in the reports. Additionally, the school board managers connected with the teachers, and it became clear that the reports were correct (they have been field-proven for over 20 years!). The issue was that the teaching process was not aligned with the head office directions. One of the school board employees told us, "Oh my God... And we paid so much money for this educational software...".

"Oh my God... And we paid so much money for this educational software..."
