Higher education bodies face a range of challenges including restricted funding and increasing competition for students. The increasing digitization of the education sector adds an additional worry.
To address the latter, IT management solutions specialist Kaseya is launching a new platform aimed specifically at higher education institutions. IT Complete for Higher Education offers a comprehensive toolkit to cut IT costs and maximize resources, while delivering a rich user experience to support students, faculty and administrators.
It gives university system administrators a single pane of glass view into agent architecture, discovery and reporting, as well as cross-platform support. In addition there are enterprise-class capabilities, such as service desk, patching, antivirus, anti-malware and end-to-end documentation, allowing IT teams to provide comprehensive services and support at a cost effective price. The Kaseya IT Complete platform also minimizes the need for ongoing training and process documentation that comes with the constant influx of new staff and student workers.
It also delivers security and protection to assist universities in their compliance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and PII (Personally Identifiable Information) regulations.
"Kaseya’s industry-leading IT automation, remote management and network security capabilities have long been heralded by the education sector. IT Complete for Higher Education takes this success a step further by specifically addressing today’s unique and evolving needs of colleges and universities," says Fred Voccola, CEO of Kaseya. "From the explosion of cloud technologies and the onus of regulatory compliance to the growing need for automation, IT professionals at higher education institutions face mounting challenges with limited resources. IT Complete for Higher Education serves as an extension of campus IT departments by offering cloud management, security and compliance regulatory management capabilities all in the same platform for a fraction of the cost."
More information on the platform can be found on the Kaseya website.
