Value of Strong Network and IT Support to Utah Educational Facilities

There are a number of facilities that have several common needs in the IT support and related fields, and schools and other educational services are definitely among these. Having a reliable network is vital for schools and other educational programs to maintain numerous student devices and solutions, and working with quality IT professionals is typically the way to go here.

We understand the importance of having a quality network in place, and we're committed to helping our clients achieve this goal. Why is it so important for such facilities to have this kind of support? Here are several reasons.

Securing the Learning Infrastructure

Digital learning tools have become a massive part of the education landscape in recent years, and it's only going to become more prevalent in the years to come. As such, it's more important than ever for educational facilities to have a secure network in place that can protect these tools and the data they contain.

We'll also work with you to create policies and procedures that will help keep your network secure, such as proper password management and access control measures.

Protecting Student Privacy

Privacy is of vital importance for everyone, and students are definitely no exception. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile cases of student data being breached, and this is something that educational institutions need to be aware of.

With the help of Onward Technology, you can be confident that your network is secure and able to protect the privacy of your students. We'll work with you to implement the necessary security measures, such as firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems.

Keeping the Network Educational

It's natural for some students to use digital resources for purposes that don't quite fit the educational mission of schools. While there's nothing wrong with students using the internet for personal reasons, it's important to make sure that they're not spending too much time on non-educational websites.

Onward Technology can help you monitor your network usage and ensure that your students are spending their time on educational websites. We can also help you implement content filtering solutions that can block non-educational websites.
