Case Study: STC Group achieves faster classroom maintenance and stronger network protection with Faronics

STC Group - Customer Case Study

Shipping and Transport College (STC-Group), an educational institution in Rotterdam, faced significant IT management challenges across its 4000 workstations. Their previous anti-virus software slowed PCs to a crawl during updates and could not function with their system restoration software, forcing manual maintenance. Students further complicated operations by installing unauthorized software and games, which introduced infections, consumed bandwidth, and disrupted classes by circumventing monitoring tools.

Faronics provided a integrated solution with its Anti-Virus, Anti-Executable, and Deep Freeze products. Faronics Anti-Virus performed updates in a frozen state with minimal resource use. Anti-Executable prevented unauthorized software installation, nearly eliminating infections. Deep Freeze enabled centralized management, allowing IT to thaw entire classrooms for maintenance with just a few clicks instead of working on each PC individually. The Faronics suite collectively saved the IT team many man-hours of maintenance and helped keep students focused on their studies.
