Serving the Puget Sound region of Washington for over 20 years, Chateau Retirement Communities prides itself on providing individuals with superior services and amenities. Chateau Retirement Communities consists of several locations, and each site has its own infrastructure, hardware, and software. There are over 100 users on staff, but just one IT professional. The IT challenges confronting Chateau were numerous. Because there was no central help desk, complaints were communicated through voicemail, e-mail, walk-ups, and instant messaging.

Rice University, located in Houston, Texas, is a private research academy. The institution, founded in 1912, is known for its prestigious undergraduate programs and its strength in the applied sciences. In order to offer students a state-of-the-art research environment, the university decided to implement the Sakai system. This open source environment, currently in use by well over 100 universities, is an extremely effective collaborative tool.
