St. Edmund's Catholic School: A* for efficient, effective desktop management
Published:  10 December, 2009

As a leading, global provider of desktop and server management software, ScriptLogic Corporation, www.scriptlogic.com, understands its customers’ needs and develops solutions to address daily IT challenges. In the education sector, common IT tasks such as application rollouts, desktop configurations and ensuring that specific users and groups have access to needed network resources, would take a significant amount of time for the generally small IT departments if completed manually. ScriptLogic’s Desktop Authority, a desktop lifecycle management solution, provides IT teams at schools and universities with the management functionality that they need to increase productivity and decrease the total cost of desktop ownership.

St. Edmunds Catholic School has more than 1,000 users and found separating students from teachers and teachers from other staff, to ensure everyone had the correct desktop configuration, was a taxing process. Using Desktop Authority, the IT staff could be as granular as necessary to ensure users were given the applications, settings and security configurations needed for their specific job role. The solution provided a high level of transparency for the IT department to help proactively create consistent, secure and functional configurations to address many problems that may occur, ensuring their users remain productive.

Phillip Allen, St Edmund’s technical administrator, said: “Since implementing ScriptLogic’s Desktop Authority, we have not only reduced time and effort; we have also saved costs by approximately 50 percent. Despite the complexities that a school’s IT department brings – from mass usage all at one time during a class to working remotely and ensuring everyone is seeing what they need to be – Desktop Authority has been able to manage it.”
