Case Study: Imperial County Office of Education protects 37,000 students with Verkada

How Imperial County Office of Education Protects 37,000 Students with Verkada

Imperial County Office of Education (ICOE), which serves about 37,000 students across 16 school districts and 70 sites, needed a more scalable way to manage physical security. Its legacy access control and video systems were fragmented and difficult to maintain, creating inefficiencies for Chief Technology Officer Luis Alejandro Wong and his team. ICOE turned to Verkada for a modern, cloud-managed physical security platform.

With Verkada, ICOE standardized on integrated access control, video security, alarms, air quality sensors, and mobile credentialing through Verkada Pass. The organization gained secure remote management, faster lockdowns, streamlined user provisioning via SSO/SCIM, and environmental monitoring for its data center and other use cases. Verkada also helped ICOE expand coverage with wireless locks and reduce reliance on local servers and storage, improving security and simplifying operations across the district network.
