Total Economic
Impact™
Study
A commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Promethean
Promethean commissioned Forrester to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ Study of the ActivPanel. Through customer interviews and a national survey, school districts across the United States provided financial and qualitative input as to the holistic impact the Promethean ActivPanel is having on classrooms, educators, and students. Explore the benefits and customer stories brought to life by the ActivPanel.
With modern technology comes new efficiencies, classroom modernization, and financial benefits. The ActivPanel has proven to reduce school district costs across 3 primary categories:
Decline in IT tickets over 5 years
In savings on bulb replacements year on year
Reduction in annual spend on printing materials
If you are going to maximize your economic impact on students with technology, you have to minimize costs and create something that is standard and sustainable. So, what we did with Promethean is develop a standard that we could use across all classrooms and that would work in every space. When you have a standard, it also standardizes the level of support required from technology staff as they can support one type of device.

Not only does modern technology provide financial benefits, but even greater value in the impact ActivPanel drives within the classroom, with teachers and students.
Teacher Benefits
Saw improved teacher satisfaction
Invested to increase teaching efficiency
We surveyed teachers at the beginning and at the end of each pilot period for the panels we evaluated to collect their feedback. All the teachers that we’ve spoken with, they all really fell in love with the [Promethean] panel and so some of the teachers were upset with us when their pilot ended, and the Promethean panel was taken away from them.
