Upcoming webinar to explore successful management of tech devices in schools

April 9, 2012 - PRLog -- eSchool News (eSN) will host an upcoming webinar, “Support Your Students Instead of Your Devices. How One School Automated Management for Hundreds of iOS Devices.”

Spending too much time supporting technology instead of your students? Holland Christian Schools was. They spent too much time manually processing iOS devices instead of focusing on essential services and supporting their students.  With over 2,000 devices, a 1:1 Mac program, and hundreds of iOS devices entering their deployment – Holland Christian needed a cost-effective solution that could easily integrate with their existing infrastructure.

Tim Kamps, former Director of Technology for Holland Christian Schools is now able to automate those time-consuming tasks and get back to the business of supporting his students. Now they can take an iPad out of the box and — in minutes — convert it into a securely managed device.

Webinar attendees will learn how Holland Christian Schools used Absolute Manage to:
-   Securely track the status of each device including last check-in and network status
-   Assign specific apps to each device and easily distribute / track Apple Volume Purchase Program redemption codes
-   Use data connections to their Helpdesk System to tie assets to users

Sponsored by Absolute Software, the webinar will take place Wednesday, April 11 at 2:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m. PST). The presentation is expected to last one hour, and registration is free.
