-          More detailed information on process for converting your school will be determined as part of the ES Laird pilot, but overall process will be similar to following:

o   Pre-Hardware Order Walk Through with School Admin + IT Dept to determine current computer quantity and assess required quantity

o   Order Hardware

o   Pre-Delivery Software Review of all custom software at each school to determine Windows7 compatibility and recourse if necessary

o   Review of Onsite Rollover Process whereby we’ll flip your school ‘live’ with low/none downtime for secretary staff

-          Information on refresh such as Image Software List and Project Updates will be made available right here on the LPSD Technology Blog once we get underway at ES Laird
