Posted on: Tuesday, 12 December 2006, 09:00 CST
IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway, Inc., the nation's third-largest PC company, has signed a $2.2 million contract to provide Kansas City Kansas Unified School District with more than 1,000 of its award-winning Profile all-in-one desktop PCs.
The Gateway(R) Profile 6.0 and Profile 5.5 systems will help teachers integrate technology into more than 49 schools in the district. Students in first through twelfth grades will access these space-saving systems in computer labs for state mandated online testing and in the classroom for daily lessons. Educators will also use the systems for Internet research, recording and tracking grades, lesson plans and other daily activities.
"The small form factor of the Gateway Profile desktops allows us to maximize the limited workspace in our computer labs and classrooms," said Joe Fives, director of Technology Information Services, Kansas City Kansas Unified School District. "We've been working with Gateway for years and appreciate the exceptional service and support they provide. We look forward to continuing a successful relationship with Gateway well into the future."
Gateway's Profile Series integrates the components of a traditional desktop, including a LCD monitor and stereo speakers in a single space-saving unit. Designed to be highly serviceable and easy to manage and deploy, the Profile allows IT staff to save time and increase productivity by having a single unit to track and support. The Profile's tool-less chassis makes upgrades simple and the all-in-one design reduces cumbersome cables for a clutter-free look, which makes it ideal for a school's computer lab or classroom.
"We are pleased to help Kansas City Kansas Unified School District make students more technologically adept by increasing their access to state-of-the-art systems," said Vin Riera, Gateway vice president, professional sales. "Our goal is to provide the best technology for our customers, including the right products that meet their specific needs for easy upgrades and a superior level of service and support."
