MILTON, Wis. (September 13, 2024) – As another academic year begins in the post-pandemic era, many educators and school leaders are finding that providing a high-quality learning experience with the latest technology is paramount to successfully engaging with students.
However, with many devices only having a four-to-five-year lifespan – coupled with the fact that many school IT departments have not expanded at the same rate of technology updates – many schools find it difficult to handle large-scale tech upgrades on their own.
Strategic MDM Partnerships Can Provide Unparalleled Tech Ecosystem Visibility. To help schools successfully navigate tech upgrades and manage their new fleet, Diamond Assets has strategically partnered with several MDM firms over the past year – the latest, and most significant being a superpowered partnership with Jamf, the market-leading Apple mobile device management and comprehensive security platform.
This collaboration between the two largest and longest-standing Apple-centric businesses integrates Jamf’s MDM system with Diamond Assets’ Clarity platform to provide schools with the real-time and detailed immediate information they need to make informed decisions about their technology ecosystems.
The integrated view of devices with real-time buyback capabilities simplifies and accelerates Apple device upgrade planning – providing schools with a faster, easy-to-use, and more accurate decision-making tool. Further, it provides advanced planning capabilities and unprecedented budget reliability, which is especially useful for budget-conscious school districts.
Our Jamf MDM partnership is already having an impact on schools! Check out the feedback from one of our educational partners on how this superpowered MDM partnership is already providing its leaders with the real-time visibility they need to successfully oversee the Apple devices in their tech ecosystem:
“After reviewing multiple vendors, we decided to go with Diamond Assets because of their integration with Jamf and the ability to see, at a glance, the potential value of our Apple assets. This allows us to better plan refreshes on our devices to get the most value possible from our original investment.”
It’s not too late for a tech refresh! Interested in leveraging our Jamf MDM partnership for the ultimate in real-time tech device ecosystem management? Even though summer’s over, schools can still upgrade their devices during the school year – in fact, it might be more beneficial to do so.
In the near term, schools can consider a fall and/or winter refresh during the upcoming Thanksgiving and/or Winter holiday breaks. Even though they are not as long as summer break, a week or two is often all that’s needed to accomplish a full or partial tech upgrade.
Further, doing a refresh during the academic year can have significant cost-saving advantages – saving as much as 25% compared to summer upgrades! – as these are times when schools are most likely to receive the most bang for their buck for device buybacks since the resale market is not oversaturated as it often is in the summer.
Partner with Diamond Assets to Upgrade Your School’s Tech! In addition to our valuable MDM partnerships, our provisioning process can also assist schools in planning and setting up new tech this school year in as little as one to two weeks. Our experienced team can prepare the devices, as well as get them ready and delivered – allowing schools to better focus on their priorities.
