Case Study: Port Alberni School District achieves simplified device management and stronger student learning experiences with Microsoft Corporation

Port Alberni school district - Customer Case Study

Port Alberni School District, a K-12 district in Canada with a small IT team supporting 12 schools and 3,500 students, needed a better way to manage devices, maintain security, and give students consistent access to learning apps. The district had been spending too much time on security issues, so it turned to Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Intune for Education, along with Office 365, Microsoft Teams, and Windows 10.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Intune for Education to standardize and customize devices, allowing apps and settings to follow students across shared carts, labs, and personal devices. The solution streamlined identity and app management with Azure Active Directory and School Data Sync, enabled BYOD, and cut device setup time to about 15 minutes per device, with apps downloading and devices ready within minutes.
