ClassLink’s New Inquiry™ Tool Lowers Technology Costs
Clifton, NJ, April 17, 2009 – ClassLink, creator of award winning products including ClassLink LaunchPad™ and ClassLink ClassMate™, is pleased to introduce Inquiry, an instructional technology decision support tool for administrators. ClassLink Inquiry’s easy to use web based reports show administrators real-time usage of all their instructional software, web, and computer hardware. With ClassLink Inquiry, administrators can eliminate wasteful spending on underused software, web content or hardware by reviewing customizable utilization reports. By enabling better decision making, ClassLink Inquiry helps schools improve instruction.
“We have already saved over $45,000 in technology costs by using Inquiry to track software and computer usage,” said early adopter Greg Partch, Director of Technology in Hudson Falls, NY. “We have been able to redeploy underutilized computers instead of buying new and have also streamlined our use of subscription software to those titles that have real value. We wouldn’t have had the resources to track this information on our own.”
ClassLink has a proven record of delivering high quality technology solutions designed to meet the unique needs of the K-12 instructional setting. ClassLink solutions empower student achievement by providing anytime anywhere learning access. In addition to a suite of software products, the company has a specialty in instructional technology professional development and 10 years of expertise in implementing virtualization solutions for schools.
“Inquiry adds another valuable component to our array of instructional technology solutions,” states Berj Akian, ClassLink CEO. “Not only can Inquiry track usage patterns, it can also provide information on how a district’s technology impacts instructional results by correlating technology usage to student data. Districts that use Inquiry will be able to make smarter technology purchasing decisions.”
