Education IT challenges
The widescale adoption of BYOD in education has seen an enormous increase in the demands of school IT systems. Digital teaching is dependent on managing a wide array of platforms, a task that falls to a school’s often underfunded IT department, whose aging systems must cope with as many as 3.5 devices per student. In addition, schools require 100% uptime, as delays negatively impact learning outcomes and the class environment. To meet the expectations of students, using both their own and the school’s IT resources, friendly and knowledgeable support is a necessity.
How Step Fwd IT can help
For Step Fwd IT, the education sector is one of the most challenging, yet exciting, that it works in. Schools are assisted by the consultancy’s development of BYOD programs that produce 1:1 learning outcomes thanks to cutting-edge teaching and learning technologies. Through planning and analysis of requirements, Step Fwd IT can install infrastructure that permits ‘Anywhere, Anytime’ learning, while teaching outcomes are aided at school by fast response and resolution times. Schools now have the opportunity to implement Step Fwd IT’s true BYOD solutions by putting in place a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) backed by Citrix XenDesktop to create a level playing field for all students.
