Case Study: Cleveland Institute of Art achieves 70% faster student device provisioning with OneLogin

How the Cleveland Institute of Art Reduced new application provisioning with Onelogin

The Cleveland Institute of Art, an independent college of art and design founded in 1882 with roughly 500 undergraduate students and about 90 faculty, needed to deploy iPads to incoming freshmen as part of a new Digital Canvas Initiative. The IT team faced cumbersome, multi‑system password management, expensive Google Apps integration options, and an aggressive six‑week timeline to configure hundreds of devices.

OneLogin’s cloud single sign‑on and iPad provisioning app enabled rapid Google Apps access and seamless device setup, completing deployment in under three weeks and provisioning student iPads in a single night. The solution consolidated authentication, removed the need for extra servers and vendors, opened easy integration with other apps (like Schoology), and cut provisioning time by about 70% while keeping student apps and data private.
