Norwell, Massachusetts is a centuries-old town just twenty-five miles southeast of Boston that is experiencing rapid growth and a consequent push towards modernity. The public schools in Norwell include two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, which encompass roughly 2,500 students and 300 teaching staff within a population of 10,000 residents. To keep pace with the expanding community, after receiving a fifty-four million dollar fund from the Norwell Construction Program, the town sought to upgrade school facilities and programs to improve the local public school education system.

Challenges

With all four public schools moving towards 21st century technological reforms, students, teachers, and administrators needed to integrate documents and services with an updated and easily accessible solution. After using Microsoft for years, the Norwell Public Schools (NPS) turned to Microsoft cloud solutions. Following two presentations by the Microsoft teams, independent research within the NPS staff saw the potential to deploy Google Workspace for their school system.

Google Workspace’s flexibility in allowing for working collaboration fell in line with the staff’s need to share, work on, and find any kind of document with other staff and students simultaneously. Many members of faculty After conversing with three other SADA clients, including Northwestern University, strong recommendations led NPS to contact SADA for Google Workspace for Education implementation, including assistance with system-change management.
