Case Study: Tianjin International School achieves 20-minute seamless Mac software deployments with FileWave

FileWave Ensures Weekly Software Deployments are Executed Seemlessly

Tianjin International School (TIS) in Tianjin, China, serves Early Childhood through high school and relies on nearly 500 Mac computers used by 437 students. Facing the need to perform weekly software deployments, updates and bug fixes without disrupting instruction, TIS selected FileWave as a Mac‑compatible, self‑hosted systems management solution with features like file‑level distribution and a self‑service Kiosk.

FileWave deployed its full lifecycle management platform—providing tiered administration, low network overhead and a managed distribution system—so TIS could push software enterprise‑wide. As a result, FileWave reduced deployment workflows to roughly a 20‑minute process (with mass installs such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Suite completed within half an hour), removed bandwidth strain via the Kiosk, and eliminated manual USB or per‑machine updates, allowing TIS to manage nearly 500 Macs far more efficiently.
