What we hear from training centers:
1. “We need to do more with less.”2. “We spend too much time managing
technology.”3. “We explored thin clients, but were frustrated
because:
a) Performance is poor (particularly multi-media);
b) We need a unique IP address for exams;c) They are too expensive (often more than
PCs).”
The GreenBridge Computing Mission
• Our mission is to provide the highest quality digital access at a fraction of the cost.
• We help schools cut costs while expanding technology access and enabling 21st century skills development.
• We provide unsurpassed performance and the lowest cost because we eliminate the need for thin clients.
Value Proposition
Opportunity: Turn a singe PC into 10+ workstations. Each user has their own monitor, mouse, and keyboard, each with an independent Windows computing experience – at a fraction of the cost
Benefits: • 50% hardware savings• 90% IT maintenance savings• 80% energy savings

Case Study: Bellevue School District, Bellevue, WA
“..we saved $70,000 on hardware by purchasing Multipoint Servers instead of individual desktops. We saved $60,000 on network switches…and we saved about $5,000 on networking cabling.”
