The challenge
Technology challenges that are unique to education
Schools juggle hundreds of devices, tight budgets and a calendar that leaves no room for downtime.
Large device fleets
Chromebooks, iPads and laptops need to be set up, updated, tracked and recovered at the end of the year.
Crowded Wi-Fi
A classroom full of students streaming video at once overwhelms networks designed for an office.
Student safety online
Filtering and supervision tools need to protect students without blocking legitimate learning.
Seasonal rushes
September setup and summer refreshes squeeze months of IT work into a few busy weeks.
Phishing aimed at staff
Teachers and administrators receive convincing scams that target payroll, tuition payments and student data.
Limited budgets
Every dollar spent on IT has to stretch, which makes planning and smart purchasing essential.
Privacy
Keeping student information private
Schools hold sensitive records about children and families: report cards, medical notes, custody arrangements and payment details. Depending on how your organization is structured, privacy laws such as Ontario’s MFIPPA (for school boards and other municipal institutions) or the federal PIPEDA, along with your own policies and parent expectations, shape how that information must be protected.
We help you put sensible controls in place: limiting who can see what, protecting accounts with multi-factor authentication, encrypting devices and making sure student data is backed up and recoverable.
- Separate accounts and permissions for staff and students
- Multi-factor authentication for staff and administrators
- Encrypted, backed-up student and administrative records
- Clear processes for removing access when staff leave
- Staff and student accounts kept separateAccess
- Administrator accounts protected with MFAIdentity
- Records backed up and restorableBackup
- Web filtering on student devicesSafety

Frequently asked questions
Can you improve Wi-Fi in crowded classrooms?
Yes. We survey your building, plan access points around classroom density rather than floor space, and separate staff, student and guest traffic so a busy class doesn’t slow down the office.
What kinds of education organizations do you support?
We work with private and independent schools, daycares and early learning centres, tutoring and test-prep centres, and adult training organizations. For larger institutions, we can also support specific projects.
Can you manage Chromebooks and iPads?
Yes. We enrol devices in central management so we can push apps and settings, enforce filtering, track inventory and lock or wipe a device if it goes missing.
Do you provide content filtering?
Yes. We set up web filtering on your network and on student devices, with rules that can differ by age group, and we adjust them when teachers need access to a blocked resource.
Should we use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Both work well in schools. We’ll look at the devices you use and how your teachers collaborate, then recommend the best fit. Licences and setup are available through our Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace service.
Can you help us plan technology spending?
Yes. Through our IT consulting service we build a multi-year plan for device refreshes, network upgrades and software, so big purchases don’t catch you by surprise.
