关于客户
格威内特县公立学校 (GCPS) 位于亚特兰大都会区，是佐治亚州最大的学校系统。该学区不断发展壮大，约有 20,000 名员工为 136 所学校的 175,000 多名学生提供服务，这些学校分布在 432 平方英里的土地上。GCPS 正在通过一项为期多年的数字内容、学习、评估和支持系统 (eCLASS) 计划改变教学和学习方式。电子成绩册计划取得了初步成功，使教师能够轻松管理学生成绩和出勤记录。GCPS 领导层寻求一种协作解决方案，以帮助教师加速他们的专业发展，并使他们能够更轻松地分享旨在改进课程和教学的想法和资源。
挑战
格威内特县公立学校 (GCPS) 是佐治亚州最大的学校系统，为 136 所学校的 175,000 多名学生提供服务。作为其数字内容、学习、评估和支持系统 (eCLASS) 计划的一部分，GCPS 希望帮助教师和学校领导更有效地协作，以改进课程和提高教学技能。然而，协作仅限于会议、工作会议和正式的面对面专业发展。为了在会议之外分享信息和想法，教师、管理员和支持人员严重依赖电子邮件和共享驱动器。随着收件箱和驱动器变得难以处理，一些教师和领导开始使用商业社交应用程序进行专业的在线协作。
解决方案
GCPS 与 IBM 合作部署了基于 IBM Connections 软件的“协作工具”。IBM 团队制作了“日常生活”演示，展示了科学教师如何使用 IBM Connections 社交商务软件参与在线讨论论坛、作为协作团队的一员跟踪活动、查找和共享资源以及通过在线社区与其他教育工作者联系。学区的领导层认为 Connections 软件具有所需的深度和灵活性，可以有助于支持其他 eCLASS 应用程序的实施。GCPS 和 IBM 团队将 Connections 应用程序部署到 30 所学校的试点组，然后将其推广到全区。该团队将其与员工门户集成，以简化教师对在线社区、论坛、活动和文件的访问，并促进协作功能与新 eCLASS 技术组件的无缝链接（当它们可用时）。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
