CloudReady and Chrome Device Management for Schools

Written By Sweethaven

Given budgetary pressures and compliance demands, it’s more important than ever to find practical solutions that increase secure, affordable access to technology in schools. Most schools struggle to meet the demand for access to great technology, yet most have legacy computers that are largely unusable.

What is CloudReady?

Installing CloudReady breathes new life into old hardware, enabling schools to get extra use out of devices that may otherwise sit collecting dust.

Case Study - London Schools Expand their Access to Technology

At Connaught School for Girls in East London, pupils and teachers were struggling to use old and slow machines, especially once the school started integrating more digital tools, including Google Classroom. Tight budgets hindered replacement of the devices.

The school saw Neverware as a budget-friendly way to revive its old laptops for the Google Classroom adoption, without purchasing a fleet of new devices or paying for laptop disposal. The results were transformative as the students started using the devices more, helping to improve teaching and learning.

“Using Neverware has made old redundant equipment feel new again. It’s fast, easy to use and reliable. We have seen a massive increase in teachers using these devices again, after avoiding using them before.”
