Digital transformation in education: Smart and secure campus

Universities are responsible for securing personal information, academic resources, and actual physical locations. It’s no wonder that many schools have enacted multiple security solutions to handle each of these threat landscapes. Unfortunately, these systems often don’t interact, and the schools are investing time and money into a patchwork of systems that is full of holes.

Microsoft Smart and Secure Campus is a comprehensive solution comprised of multiple integrated solutions that will reduce cost and IT burden.

At Virtual Office Solutions, we can help you find the perfect combination for your school.

Keep students safe online and on campus

37% of higher-ed leaders say their institution’s locks and doors are no longer properly configured for safety and security. And, with buildings like libraries and community centers open to the public, universities face a uniquely challenging physical security problem.

With a variety of integrated Microsoft and partner solutions, schools can customize the security measures that are right for them. By combining their physical and digital security into a centralized hub, schools can reduce the burden on IT and provide new insights between programs, allowing them to maximize campus safety and minimize response times.
