FAQ
Questions schools ask us before the first call
What district, campus and school administrators ask us most about IT, student records and print. Anything else, a real person will answer today.
Ask us directlyEducational institutions need managed IT services for education that include proactive network monitoring, advanced cybersecurity protocols, and constant compliance support that can help safeguard sensitive, FERPA-protected student data. Managed service providers, like MSI, offer this exact type of IT support for schools, pairing 24/7 monitoring and security measures with the compliance requirements needed to meet regulation standards.
Schools looking to reduce reliance on paper records, or completely transform their record keeping to a digital format, need a student record management system that combines document scanning with secure, searchable digital storage solutions that allow for built-in workflow automations. Managed service providers like MSI offer education document management solutions. We help convert physical files into organized, digital archives.
Managed print services providers like Metro Sales can help school systems get visibility into the true costs of their printing usage, which helps administrators cut unnecessary spending and better plan technology budgets. Our approach to managed print includes proactive maintenance of your printer and copier devices and active supplies management, reducing the downtime and unexpected costs that can strain an already stretched budget.
Interactive whiteboards for education, also known as "interactive flat panels" or "smartboards for education", let teachers present multimedia lessons, run video conferencing and encourage students to engage with lesson materials in real time. Metro Sales offers Ricoh interactive displays, which are built for both in-person and hybrid classroom environments.
Educators should look for a provider offering managed IT services for education that have scalable support, with an emphasis on strong data security and a proven track record specific to the education sector, vs. a one-size-fits-all approach. Metro Sales, for example, brings decades of experience delivering reliable tech solutions for teachers, students and administrative staff across the Upper Midwest.
