Wyse thin computing software and devices are in use today by thousands of schools, colleges and universities worldwide. The company’s Wyse WSM™ provisioning software delivers a computer infrastructure that provides a reliable experience to teachers, an engaging experience for students, while still offering the same functionality as traditional PCs.
