eSchool News webinar highlights effective school IT management

Nov. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Bethesda, Md. -- Schools are constantly faced with high pressure demands – such as higher competition for students yet with lower budgets.

But how are today’s school IT leaders doing more with less? How do they respond and create and manage dynamic information on iPads, smartphones, laptop PCs, and servers using sophisticated, standards-based tools?  How do they integrate with existing Web infrastructures and backend databases?

Join Chris Brand, application integration specialist at Fairfield Public Schools, as he shares his firsthand experiences of managing a 10,000 student network with 5,000 IT assets spread across 16 schools. Gerald Beaulieu, director of product marketing at Kaseya, will also join in the live presentation, discussing automated IT systems management and why it’s an effective, low-cost solution.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Manage common issues facing school IT leaders – including large numbers of older machines, multiple O/S platforms, high numbers of external devices, and widely distributed districts
• Improve security across the entire school IT network
• Improve IT asset discovery, network monitoring, ticketing, and compliance reporting
• Implement new processes and technologies to increase the quality of IT service – at a lower cost
• Increase the productivity – and morale – of the IT team

Sponsored by Kaseya, the webinar will take place Thursday, November 10th at 2:00 p.m. EDT (11:00 a.m. PST). The presentation is expected to last one hour, and registration is free.
