Results of the Technology Makeover Contest

The results are in and CMIT has chosen a winner for the $75,000 Technology Makeover Contest. Many entries were received but the winner is the Monarch School of New England. The school for disabled children in New Hampshire complained of “dinosaur computers” and limited resources both in school and the home. Not only will the new technology setup replace their old equipment, but students can now enhance communication abilities and everyday skills. Dell, Microsoft, and CMIT are happy to award them this prize that will allow the students to become further motivated in their schoolwork.

Several reminders and lessons came from all the entries.

  1. A bad IT guy can be worse than no IT guy at all.
  2. You have to make your computers a priority.
  3. Success can be your own worst enemy.
  4. If you have an extremely bad computer setup, you aren't alone.
  5. A simple change to your IT systems can have a profound effect on your workplace.

Keep these in mind and remember that CMIT is here to help.
