Lewisville ISD has an extensive 1:1 Mobile Device initiative that incorporates 65,000+ devices including iPads, Macs and PCs spread across 70 schools. The District has just over 50+ Technical Support staff, so managing such a large deployment, provisioning devices, and keeping track of software and other details was a significant challenge.
With so many types of devices and operating systems, Lewisville ISD wanted a single solution that would allow them do it all. By selecting Absolute Manage, they were able to provide a device agnostic approach to life cycle management, easily training their traditional PC support team members to interact with a wide variety of devices and operating systems.
Join us on May 8 and learn how Lewisville ISD was able to:
- Easily move their PC environment from SCCM to Absolute Manage
- Simplify the propagation of the Absolute agent across all devices
- Cross-train all levels of support to perform more tasks remotely regardless of operating system
- Repurpose the existing SCCM environment equipment to function as software distribution points for additional savings
