Agency Security Enhanced by Intel vPro Technology in Laptops
South Carolina agency enhances productivity and security with powerful laptops and Intel® vPro™ technology
South Carolina’s Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services (PPP) had already equipped 90 percent of its workers with tablet computers and implemented a multilayer security infrastructure. For its second-generation mobile environment, PPP wanted to further increase business efficiencies, security, and manageability. It upgraded all workers to high performance laptops, and says the move generates more than USD 550,000 in what PPP Director of IT Systems and Services David O’Berry calls annual personal productivity savings (PPS). As PPP prepares to activate Intel® vPro™ technology, its IT team expects to make the client environment even more cost-effective, secure, and environmentally friendly.
The number of Americans behind bars or on probation, parole, or supervision has risen rapidly, increasing the pressure on supervising agencies to streamline operations and reduce costs. Those who are successful can improve quality of life for their citizens and benefit state budgets that are already stretched to the breaking point.
“If you think of it as a balance sheet, everyone who’s in jail is a gigantic red number,” explains David O’Berry, director of IT systems and services for PPP. “Offenders who are out of jail but not gainfully employed are a risk to the community, and they may also still be drawing on social services. If we can help them pick up the pieces of their lives and turn them into tax-paying citizens who can pay their child support and their fines and restitution, then we’re keeping communities safe and helping produce a huge swing in cost savings for the state.”
O’Berry says mobile technologies are a smart investment for the state. “Mobile computing enables our agents to spend more time out in the community where they need to be,” he comments. “They can access data when they need it. They avoid duplication of effort and extra travel. Even desk-bound workers like the laptop’s flexibility.”
