Case Study: Charter School for Applied Technologies strengthens student data security and streamlines patch management with Action1

Charter School for Applied Technologies saves 48 hours a month with Action1

The Charter School for Applied Technologies, a public charter school in Buffalo, NY, faced significant challenges in managing software patches across its 2,900 endpoints. Their previous tools required extensive manual work, lacked real-time visibility, and offered no solution for third-party patch management, leaving them vulnerable to cyberattacks and creating a risk to sensitive student data protected under FERPA. They turned to the vendor Action1 for a comprehensive patch management solution.

By implementing Action1, the school automated its OS and third-party patching processes, gaining full visibility and eliminating manual work. The solution streamlined patch deployment, improved security and compliance, and saved the IT team 48 hours per month. Action1 also replaced other tools, saving the school $15,000 annually and allowing the IT staff to focus on supporting teachers and classrooms.
