A Prey Case Study
Rock Valley College, a community-focused institution in Illinois, faced significant challenges in tracking and managing its large fleet of devices, especially laptops loaned to students. The small IT team struggled with a loss of control over assets, leading to unreturned and out-of-date equipment. To regain oversight and improve security, the college turned to the vendor Prey for its device tracking and management solution.
By implementing Prey, the IT team gained real-time GPS tracking, remote lock, and remote wipe capabilities. The solution automated loan management, allowing the team to set usage periods and automatically lock overdue devices. This resulted in a dramatic 95% laptop recovery rate in the first semester and enabled the team to process 45 student laptops in just 6 hours. Prey provided the control and security needed to confidently expand their technology programs.
