Standardization Enables Collaboration for Improved Learning 2005-09-27 03:00:03 Dell

The Holmen School District in Holmen, Wisconsin, supported their diverse computer network using several types of computers and more than one operating system.

At Zion-Benton, located on Lake Michigan near Chicago, Ill., they were looking to reach out to the school's forgotten majority: The kids in the middle. The solution: A school-within-a-school that requires every student to own and use a notebook computer.

Cost-Efficient Notebooks Help Mobilize Texas Police Department 2005-09-27 03:00:03 Dell

The Cisco, TX Police Department (PD) had six officers to protect the town of 3,800 people. Like law enforcement agencies nationwide, the department needed its officers to spend their time patrolling the community - not stuck doing paperwork. In particular, the department wanted to streamline the procedures involved with traffic stops. The Cisco PD first turned to Dell based on the recommendation of a trusted software vendor. The durability, reliability and flexibility of Dell notebooks were key selling points. But like for any other small, local agency, the final factor came down to price. In addition to notebooks, the department also selected software to simplify the creation of traffic citations.

So for their preferred vendor of notebooks, they wanted a more flexible, reliable and convenient supplier. Working with UNCW on possible configurations, Dell provided two notebook models for students to choose from: a low-end (Dell Latitude C610) and high-end (Dell Latitude C640) system. UNCW configured the notebooks with essential hardware and software capabilities.

Dell Latitude Notebooks Provide a Cost-Effective, Reliable, and Robust Mobile Platform for Broadband Provider Cox Communications' Field Service Representatives 2005-10-04 03:00:05 Dell

As the third-largest cable TV provider in the nation, Cox Communications, Inc., is well known for its dependable, high-capacity broadband delivery network. The Cox Las Vegas IT department faced the unappealing possibility of replacing the array of aging, five-year-old mobile devices used by its FSRs to open, record, and close work orders. The Cox Las Vegas IT team began an investigation of alternative mobile computing solutions. Impressed by Dell's very competitive notebook price point compared to that of most tablet-style units in addition to high scores for reliability, the Cox IT team ran various informal tests and then chose to initially deploy Dell Latitude C600 series and Dell Latitude D600 series notebooks to more than 180 FSRs in the Las Vegas region.
