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.
“We needed a better way to track and secure our devices, especially with the challenges of lost, stolen, or misplaced hardware. We also wanted a simple way to send critical messages across multiple operating systems”
Leslie Waller, Network Administrator at Liberty ISD
