Case Study: The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science achieves rapid laptop recovery and enhanced device security with Absolute Software

Norwegian School of Veterinary Science boosts laptop security with Absolute

The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, a leading institution for veterinary education and research in Norway, relies on about 200 laptops for teaching and administrative work. Concerned that physical measures like cable locks couldn’t fully prevent theft—and that a missing device would disrupt classes and staff—the school needed a reliable way to locate and recover stolen laptops and protect sensitive data.

The school deployed Absolute’s device security and investigations service, a cost-effective solution (about 1.5–2% of a laptop’s cost) that can track, disable or remotely wipe devices. When a laptop was stolen, Absolute’s Investigations team worked with police to recover it within 10 days; the school realized faster resolution, lower replacement costs, and reduced disruption to teaching.
