SMART still has a bit of market control (last I looked they made up like 10% of IFP market), but they basically cost a fortune to buy (beyond competition) and then they still have a subscription on top of that.

I was a SysAdmin for K-12 so I pushed a lot of device agnostic stuff since I didn’t want more to manage. SMART was basically a major pain since users always wanted their old software installed. It was horrible, and it often required more than just app deployment through SCCM.

Officials with Alberta Education confirmed they finalized the purchase of the SMART Technologies building this month, but that the lease with Kids & Company had been terminated before then. “The purchase of the SMART Technologies building by the Government of Alberta was finalized in April 2023.

They were on the university grounds, so I don’t know where their office is now.
