In a context where the competitiveness of firms depends on their ability to adapt rapidly
The centralized management of the educational computer park is now essential to meet budgetary and regulatory challenges as well as the growing need for efficient digital tools. Without such a solution,desktop administration quickly becomes complex and time-consuming for IT teams.
To better understand the issues, we compared two approaches: one based on traditional tools with limited functionality, while the other relies on a complete and adapted IT fleet management solution such as Wisper 360, designed to simplify and optimize PC fleet management.
This study highlights the many advantages of centralized IT management : saving time, reducing maintenance costs and improving the educational experience. Find out how this approach can transform theway in which training is organized and make it easier for IT teams to work in education.
In a training or education institution without an IT management solution, IT teams must juggle different platforms and tools to maintain equipment. This results in considerable time losses:
- Updates and maintenance: they are often manual and require frequent interventions.
- Technical troubleshooting: in the absence of optimized support, the IT team has to solve the problems alone, which increases its workload.
- Security and compliance: risk and regulatory management requires regular and careful monitoring, plus the use of students' USB drives increases the risk of a virus infection in the park.
- Integration and personalization: adapting software to educational needs requires advanced technical skills and time.
Faced with these challenges, the Sainte Croix-Saint Euverte school complex in Orléans has chosen Wisper 360, a centralized IT management solution, to simplify the management of its computer park. Result:
– Accelerated Deployment : new educational content is installed in 15 minutes on 250 workstations, compared to several hours previously.
– Smooth and secure updates: patches are applied across the entire fleet in 1 hour, compared to half a day before.
- Lean management: a smaller IT team can focus on higher value added tasks.
Thanks to this modernization with Wisper 360, SCSE has optimized its IT processes while ensuring a powerful digital environment for its students and teachers.
Without a dedicated solution, equipment management quickly becomes complex and time-consuming. Each software installation, update or configuration must be done individually, which creates major challenges for IT teams:
– Administration Tedious : each workstation must be configured separately, increasing the risk of errors and inconsistencies in the IT fleet.
– High maintenance time: interventions on equipment are repetitive and require significant resources.
- Absence of centralized supervision: the lack of visibility over the entire fleet complicates the management and troubleshooting of stations.
Faced with these constraints, PHELMA opted for a centralized IT management solution, simplifying the maintenance and deployment of its educational tools. Result with Wisper 360:
- Facility optimization: more than 300 software programs are managed efficiently for 150 teachers, reducing the complexity of the computer park.
- Process automation: the stops and restarts of the stations are programmed, allowing a better management of the energy consumption.
- Considerable time savings: daily maintenance is reduced, freeing IT teams for higher value added tasks.
For SCSE, the reliability of Wisper 360 was also a key criterion, thanks in particular tothe automation of stops and restarts of workstations, which reduced energy consumption and time spent on daily maintenance.
Thanks to a unified management system,these educational institutions can manage their IT infrastructure efficiently, ensure the rapid deployment of software and guarantee a stable and efficient teaching environment.
Wisper is much more than a simple provider of IT solutions: it is a trusted partner, close to its customers and listening to them.
As a human-scale company, it co-builds its solutions with educational institutions to precisely meet their needs.
After one year of use, SCSE is very satisfied, thanks to an excellent technical and commercial follow-up, guaranteeing a smooth integration and a successful modernization of its infrastructure.
At PHELMA, the security of global maintenance is now under control. The ISD has maximized its efficiency and freed up valuable time to focus on other strategic projects, while improving the quality of service offered to users.
In conclusion, the comparison between an educational institution using a centralized IT management solution and another one relying on conventional tools highlights significant differences in terms of performance and quality of service. By opting for a solution like Wisper 360, educational institutions benefit from significant time savings , of simplified maintenance and enhanced security, which are essential elements to optimize the limited resources of IT teams.
The experience of SCSE which has seen its deployment accelerated and its updates significantly streamlined, demonstrates that centralization not only reduces manual interventions but also frees up time for projects with higher added value.
