Chemnitz is preparing schools with 11,500 Apple devices for the future!

in Chemnitz it is very important: The city has carried out the Apple and Cancom the Apple Readiness Review and thus sets an important step towards sustainable school IT with a rollout of around 11,500 Apple devices-including IPADs, Mac Minis and Apple TVs. A central goal of this initiative is to promote digital teaching and learning methods at over 80 schools in the region. Mobile device management takes place via Jamf School, which is supposed to relieve the school IT enormously.

The school edge center (SYS-C) has been active in the region for almost two decades and looks after impressive 28,000 users as well as more than 15,000 end devices, including 9,500 iPads alone. "Something is due," teachers could now imagine, because this measure was not only decided out of the gut. A strategic advisory approach beyond the pure device provision was required here. The Apple Readiness Review includes a comprehensive analysis of technical, organizational and strategic aspects of the IT infrastructure in schools.

strategic recommendations for schools

The results of the review led to clear recommendations for action to optimize mobile device management (MDM) processes and network security. Topics such as the provision and management of mobile devices, identity management and core applications were examined in detail. The aim is to create a future-proof, scalable and efficient IT infrastructure that encounters the challenges of digital transformation. According to thenewit.com, the Apple Professional Services (APS) offer a comprehensive assessment of the IT environment and best practice for device management, which is also valuable to prepare for such projects.

A deliberately chosen advisory step that goes beyond the provision of the devices not only makes work easier for teachers, but also ensures uniform standards and requirements. "Good planning is the be -all and end -all," it often says, and the experts are not wrong. With practical discovery sessions and close cooperation with the technology teams, tailor-made solutions are developed.

technological optimizations and requirements

The digital transformation in schools brings with it many challenges, but also solutions, shows the blog of univental.de. For example, the possibility of simply importing teacher and student data from the LUSD database, which makes the administration considerably easier and avoids manual errors. However, the prerequisite for this is a stable IT infrastructure and a correctly configured system that has grown the requirements for the synchronization processes.

Another example is the Active Directory Connector, which offers schools flexibility in the transfer of data into AD systems. The highlight: Schools can determine which data is adopted or excluded-for many a real blessing in the administration of complex IT structures. This clearly shows that with the right aids, digital transformation in schools is not only conceivable, but also feasible.

Overall, it can be stated: Chemnitz sets a sign of digitization in the field of education with his step and the Apple Readiness Review. The school IT is made future -proof through strategic planning and modern technology - a model that could certainly make high waves in other cities.
