8 Chrome Management for digital assessment Tim van Neerbos IT Architect ITS Basic Services 11 June

9 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services Key considerations Budget Manageability User experience Scalability Mobility Security 11 June

10 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services Budget Hardware is expensive. End user / device management is even more expensive. Chromebook = 250. Chrome Management = 22 per device (perpetual). 530 devices = a year (3-year lifecyle). 11 June

11 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services Manageability What do we traditionally need (e.g. Windows desktop)? IT (management) infrastructure; Device management software; Custom images and imaging software; Application delivery software; Monitoring software; Kiosk software (e.g. Sitekiosk, KioWare). Chrome Management offers us the ability to manage the total digital assessment solution through one (cloud based) management console. 11 June

12 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services Manageability Integration with existing UU Google products like Gmail / Google Apps / Google Management Console. Chromebooks new to ITS portfolio. Identical delivery and replacement (Misco). Embedded with IT Service Management. Cloud-based updates and management. No custom images. Manage all settings centrally. Customize instantly from the cloud. Auto-launch digital assessment software. 11 June

15 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services User Experience & security Built-in single app kiosk mode. 11 June

16 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services Scalability Easy to expand. Provision, disable or de-provision devices in seconds. New devices automatically receive the correct configuration for digital assesment (kiosk mode, app etc.). Use different configurations for a group of devices. Easy to swap (spare) devices. Devices can t be (re)used outside of the management domain. 11 juni

17 Tim van Neerbos ITS Basic Services Mobility Every device can be used for digital assessments. All devices in a group have the same (exchangeable) configuration. 11 juni
