Case Study: Cayman Islands Ministry of Education achieves device recovery and theft deterrence with Absolute Software

Cayman Islands Ministry of Education Manages Assets and Protects Devices with Persistence Technology

The Cayman Islands Ministry of Education, Employment & Gender Affairs, which oversees primary and secondary schools, a further education centre and services for students with special needs, supports more than 5,100 students but manages roughly 3,000 devices for about 6,000 users with only seven IT staff. Repeated device thefts and the risk of reimaging left the Ministry exposed to lost assets, disrupted learning and an unsustainable manual asset-management burden.

The Ministry deployed Absolute’s Persistence technology—firmware-embedded tracking that survives reimages—plus geofencing and automated reporting. This enabled cooperation with local and international law enforcement to recover stolen laptops, deterred theft across the islands, reduced manual reporting, and freed IT staff to focus on other priorities, protecting students and preserving the IT budget.
