Ah, the pandemic. A time of resilience, innovation...and let's be honest, a whole lot of IT headaches. Remember the scramble to get everyone set up for remote work? Yeah, that wasn't exactly a walk in the park, especially when it came to VPN access.
For many school districts, mine included, connecting to crucial data center resources like the student information system or the business department's accounting software relied on good ol' fashioned VPNs. The problem? Most staff couldn't install and configure them themselves. They needed admin credentials, which meant… you guessed it… getting IT involved.
Now, picture this: a global pandemic keeping everyone six feet apart, while simultaneously needing to set up individual VPN access for a scattered workforce. It wasn't pretty. IT techs were juggling a constant stream of remote support requests, while frustrated staff members just wanted to access the tools they needed to do their jobs.
Here's how edu struXure could have been your pandemic hero:
- Cloud-based applications eliminate the need for VPNs. Staff simply log in with a secure web portal, no special software installation required. This frees up IT resources and gets everyone up and running faster.
- Accessibility from anywhere, anytime. With a web connection, staff can access the tools they need, regardless of location. No more waiting for IT to remotely configure their computers – they're good to go as soon as they have internet access.
- Reduced burden on IT. Cloud services require minimal on-site IT management, freeing up your tech team to focus on more strategic initiatives. Imagine the possibilities!
The pandemic threw us all a curveball, but it also highlighted the importance of flexible and accessible technology solutions. edu struXure offers just that.
