The Challenge
With thousands of Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and iPads deployed across multiple campuses, Liberty ISD’s IT team faced ongoing challenges:
  • Lost or misplaced devices disrupted student learning and led to unnecessary replacement costs.
  • Manual device tracking was time-consuming and diverted IT staff from more strategic initiatives.
  • Communication gaps made it difficult to send real-time updates to students and staff across multiple operating systems.
