Ontario School Board Streamlines Web Content With Help From Microsoft

The Halton District School Board serves approximately 52,300 public school students in the municipalities of Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville in southern Ontario. The technology that underpinned the board's public web site and intranet was based on proprietary systems and lacked automation. This made it impossible for staff to add or update content themselves, put time and resource strain on the IT department, and made the site difficult to navigate. Halton District School Board decided to work with Cyberplex Inc., a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, which recommended Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
