#1. Device selection
Unsure which devices will work best for your institution? No problem. Insight Public Sector experts have extensive knowledge of the current education device landscape, including the latest offerings from leading-class OEMs. Our team will start the device selection process by working with you to understand your school’s specific network requirements. Then, we’ll recommend the right devices to suit the needs of students and staff.
#2. Device procurement
Next, we’ll manage the device purchase process for you. Our deep, longstanding partnerships with top education equipment manufacturers and distributors make it easy for our experts to acquire the devices you need at prices that fit your budget.
#3. Device deployment
Next, we’ll direct and oversee device deployment throughout your learning environments. Our experts will remotely configure your devices, test them to confirm they’re functioning properly, then deploy them — making sure they deliver optimal performance for every student and employee. Once deployment is complete, we can also monitor your devices to make sure they’re operating properly.
#4. Secure device setup
What comes next is a critical component of your school’s device strategy: secure device setup. After assessing your institution’s potential vulnerabilities, Insight Public Sector will make sure all the latest security settings and procedures are in place. From there, our team will encrypt your data, restrict access to it and monitor your network for security threats, which our team will respond to immediately if and when detected.
#5. Lifecycle management
Insight Public Sector will manage the entire lifecycle of your new devices. We will maintain an inventory of your school’s devices, monitor their performance, stay on top of firmware and other security updates, add and remove devices as needed, update access controls as needed and keep you apprised of maintenance needs.
#6. End-of-life services
When it’s time to replace devices, our team is there to manage every aspect of the end-of-lifecycle process. This includes assessing your school’s devices to determine which ones need replacing, recommending replacements that fit your approved budget and purchasing your replacements before performing all the services listed above. For devices in need of disposal, we will securely erase your sensitive data before recycling or disposing them in an environmentally-responsible way.
#7. Hybrid expertise
The final way Insight Public Sector can support your school’s devices is by providing you with expert information about managing devices in a hybrid landscape. We understand the complexity of hybrid school environments and the security challenges they bring. Our team will design your network infrastructure to support hybrid learning across multiple locations. This way, your staff can communicate and collaborate securely with students and each other no matter where class is in session.
