EdTech Show Daily 2 1 Tuesday, February 6, 2018 increase endpoint risk. What to Look for in a Quality UEM Provider Company Reputation While seeking a solution should be more than a popularity contest, a lot can be said about customer satisfaction. Evaluate the length of time a provider has been around, look for positive testimoni- als and explore the site for case studies that highlight different types of cus- tomers. Digging even deeper into a com- pany and asking about their quality of product support and SLA (service level agreement) can also help you get an idea of how the company will help you suc- ceed and respond in times of need. Scalability Being able to look ahead in your tech- nology plan is critical to choosing the right tools for the job. By selecting a software solution that can grow with you as your needs evolve and the num- ber of supported devices increase is essential for usability and cost savings. A software solution that can meet your needs now and down the road will save time and resources when it comes to implementing a variety of technology initiatives. Platform Agnostic Along the same line as scalability, a multi-platform unified endpoint manage- ment solution is an important considera- tion, even if your current environment isn't diverse. As technology continues to change and develop, the technology cli- FileWave (Cont'd. from p. 1) mate of your business will likely change, too. A historically all Windows environ- ment may transition to Mac, or vice versa, or become a blended environment of many operating systems. Choosing a solution that works with any mix and number of devices will address current needs, and prepare you for future possi- bilities – ensuring you swiftly adapt, as needed. Comprehensive Services for the Greatest ROI Not only should a solution be compati- ble with multiple operating systems, but it should be an effective tool throughout the entire lifecycle of device manage- ment of imaging, deployment, manage- ment and maintenance. Combining multiple tools into one product can sig- nificantly streamline operations and reduce cost. Founded in 1992, FileWave provides education, enterprise and government institutions from around the world with multi-platform device management soft- ware to assist IT teams throughout the entire lifecycle process of imaging, deployment, management and mainte- nance. FileWave's all-in-one, highly scal- able solution solves the many challenges of managing a diverse and growing pop- ulation of users, devices and content by ensuring organizations have a compre- hensive solution that supports both desk- top and mobile devices across macOS, iOS, Windows, Chrome OS and Android.

SmartMotion from SecuRam – Motion Sensor with AI While motion sensors have been part of security for quite some time, the range in quality, sensitivity and outright reliability has often been a weak link within the industry. Having been built around differ- ing technologies with varying results, failures lead to lessened security, user frustration and increased costs associated with false alerts. By marrying genuine Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the new SmartMotion sensor, SecuRam Systems has introduced an exceptional- ly high-functioning product that can finally be classified as robust. Reducing false alarms and facilitating easy integration into systems of any size, the SecuRam SmartMotion sensor stands out as a unique performer in a sea of similarity. Simply put, the SmartMotion sensor is capable of real and defined learning. By tracking routine activity, it creates an advanced algorithm that systematically discerns your daily movements from those more characteristic of an intruder. This results in a smarter security system with fewer false events and greater peace of mind. Easily mounted and installed, the SmartMotion sensor easily integrates into both traditional and DIY security systems. Once installed, the SmartMotion begins the data gathering and model building that results in a more secure experience. The SmartMotion sensor is one of several remarkable introductions from SecuRam in 2018.

Users can set their SmartBolt to automat- ically lock and unlock upon arrival or leaving, while scheduling and providing visitors with easy access. Designed and engineered with stainless steel construc- tion and absolute precision, the SecuRam SmartBolt is the new standard in security, efficiency and convenience. SecuRam SmartSensors easily mount onto any door or window, provid- ing fail-safe operation for your perimeter security. Digitally calibrated for absolute precision, the SmartSensor integrates into the SecuRam Smart Home app, providing "set it and forget it" execution.
