Case study: Garant Private School and GreenDice – a sustainable IT partnership
The cooperation between Garant Private School and GreenDice started with the desire to find a sustainable and cost-effective solution for the school’s IT infrastructure. Now, throughout a partnership that has lasted almost three years, GreenDice has helped the school implement several significant waves of renewal.
Stages and achievements of the cooperation:
- Computer classroom renewal: First, the entire computer classroom’s equipment was replaced, using high-quality devices and monitors previously used by Coop Pank and Enterprise Estonia (EIS). This immediately provided a noticeable improvement in the quality of instruction.
- Teachers’ work tools: Subsequently, the teachers’ classrooms equipment was updated, supplying them with computers from Coop Pank and monitors from EIS. Modernizing teachers’ work tools is a critical step in ensuring successful digital learning. Devices came from different partners of GreenDice.
- Student mobility: The school adopted laptops for students with the help of GreenDice, supporting a flexible and inclusive learning environment.
- Update: The latest and most extensive step was the simultaneous upgrade of all devices to computers with Windows 11 support, ensuring the school’s IT system complies with modern standards and security requirements.
Fast and Reliable IT Support
One of the greatest advantages of GreenDice’s service for Garant Private School has been the integrated IT support. As is common with used equipment, technical problems have occurred, but they have always been immediately resolved.
“For us, the greatest value is a stable and sustainable IT solution that supports the school’s daily, seamless instructional work. GreenDice has helped create a cost-effective and environmentally friendly IT system that meets modern standards and allows us to focus on what is most important – teaching .” Yulia Lemberg, Member of the Board of Garant Private School.
Expert Consultation in a Confused Environment
GreenDice’s role extended beyond merely supplying hardware. The company’s consultation regarding the technical parameters of hardware for e-exams proved to be especially valuable. At a time when the communication and requirements provided by the Ministry of Education and Research and Education and Youth Board (Harno) were sometimes confusing and constantly changing, GreenDice helped the school navigate the information. The consultation ensured that the school’s hardware met the strict requirements, thereby avoiding last-minute problems and stress during exam preparation. This proved that GreenDice is more a technological partner for Garant Private School than merely a supplier of equipment.
“The GreenDice team is a reliable and cooperative partner whose solutions are especially well-suited for educational institutions where a balance between quality, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness is important. This is a partner who thinks along with us and always finds a suitable solution.”
GreenDice has forwarded to Garant Private School different devices from Nordea, Coop, Omniva, EIS and SEB.
