At IT Solutions Team our engineers see ourselves as part of the schools team. We take the safety of your students regardless of grade very serious. For this reason we strongly urge our clients to install Firewall. As school budgets are always tight we have been asked by administrators why are firewalls important for schools? To answer this questions we retell a story that has been going around since the beginning of the internet. Whether it is true or not only those in the classroom know. Here is how it goes….
It was parent teacher night at an elementary school, the teacher was getting ready to demonstrate how she integrated technology into the classroom. She wanted to bring up the website www.whitehouse.gov she inadvertently replaced .gov with .com.
To horror of everyone in the classroom especially the teacher an adult website came up.
The story regardless of the how true it may be, demonstrates the importance of a Network Firewall in a school setting.
Our engineers at IT Solutions Team realize the importance of protecting your institution most important resource the students. We work with Watchgaurd to install Firewalls that have rules that limit what students can access, and more importantly protect the students from predators.
With a Wathcguard firewall we are able to offer educations institutions / schools at all levels and grades discounts on the hardware and software licenses and in turn we offer discounted pricing for our educational partners.
Our team at IT Solutions Team also understands the importance of valid licensing. We work with vendors such as Microsoft and Adobe to obtain discounted software licenses for your institution making sure that your school has legal not pirated licenses for all of your computers.
Our team also realizes the importance of keeping your school computers working, with virtual tools we are able to access the schools computers remotely after hours and make sure your virus and malware software definition files are up to date and the schools computers are virus free.
Our tools offer our engineers the ability to remotely access your computers and install the latest software updates, and when necessary reinstall complete operating systems.
At IT Solutions Team we take education seriously, to paraphrase Whitney Houston’s song from 1985, We believe children are the future, we help you lead them safely down the information highway .
