The Alberta Teachers' Association Improves Communication With Integrated Technology

Overview Established nearly 90 years ago to promote the teaching profession in Alberta, Canada, the Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) advances the goals of public education, safeguards standards of professional practice, and advocates for its 33,000 members. A traditionally decentralized organization, the ATA made a strategic decision to centralize IT operations and upgrade and standardize aging, heterogeneous systems. To realize this vision, the organization needed a technology foundation that would help improve interoperability and integration, ensuring a seamless flow of information among departments and external stakeholders. The ATA is taking advantage of the Microsoft .NET Framework to help it realize that vision. Desktops were also upgraded with the Windows XP operating system.
