Tracy Unified School District

The large Tracy Unified School District serves the needs of 16,500 students in Tracy, a city in northern California. The district's 1,500 employees rely on e-mail, voice mail, instant messaging, and faxes to communicate with each other, vendors, and parents. However, the district had been looking for a more cost-effective infrastructure to support these communication methods. Specifically, it wanted a messaging solution that would eliminate high-cost phone lines while providing users with more flexible ways to communicate. In October 2006, the district deployed a prerelease version of Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 with unified messaging capabilities. As a result, the district's office has experienced better communication and more efficient management. In addition, it expects to save in excess of U.S.$350,000 and experience improved security once full deployment is achieved.
