How the cloud helped Portland schools transform IT operations

Large school districts face some of the most multifaceted computing demands of any organization today. Teachers and students need fast networks and constant connectivity, while administrators and IT teams require tight security and system flexibility. Read how a recent migration project by Portland Public Schools demonstrates how modern cloud technologies can help school IT leaders meet and exceed these demands.

After their modernization project, Portland Public Schools is thinking about how the cloud paves the way for advanced applications like artificial intelligence and machine learning that can make districts more efficient while improving student outcomes. “It opens up a whole universe of opportunities to deliver services that aren’t available if you’re locked into on-premises systems,” says Don Wolff, chief technology officer for Portland Public Schools. With strong implementation partners and support from AWS, “we now have avenues we just couldn’t have seen as possibilities before.”
