Technology is also central to ensuring the security of your facilities, as well as your ability to respond immediately to any threat – whether it’s violence, illness, or a natural disaster.
These technologies, however, put tremendous stress on your institution’s underlying digital architecture. Are you truly confident that you can support an exponentially growing volume of digital traffic? Will your infrastructure investments today become your operational bottlenecks tomorrow? And how can you best leverage those investments so they support every facet of your mission to deliver knowledge effectively, efficiently, reliably, and securely?
The smarter, more effective way to build your agency’s digital services portfolio over time is to design & deploy the right digital architecture for your particular needs – both present and projected. That way, you can optimally leverage your agency’s scarce budget dollars to deploy the richest possible portfolio of digital solutions, while also safeguarding the security and reliability of your day-to-day operations.
But who can you turn to when you want to ensure you get maximum “bang for the buck” while complying with mandated technology standards? And how can you deploy new technology in a way that doesn’t create more work for you–instead of less?
The sad truth is that educators today must be as mindful of threats to the physical safety of students as they are of their learning needs. Fortunately, advances in digital technology can help you fulfill these missional safety requirements.
When it comes to protecting students and staff from violence, for example, digital access controls combined with full-coverage ultra-high definition audio/video surveillance are indispensable. Complement that surveillance with advanced A/V analytics, and you’ll be able to automatically detect anomalous activity that could quickly indicate a potential threat or an event in progress.
Add the necessary capabilities for emergency communications with local first responders, and you can build a complete state-of-the-art real-time threat response system that dramatically improves safety everywhere for everyone across your environment.
Thermal imaging can also be extraordinarily useful for detecting and stopping individuals with communicable illnesses from entering your facility. When combined with video imaging, thermal imaging can also help with the contact tracing that is so important for protecting your entire community.
A major change in your agency’s physical environment is often the ideal time to re-design and re-engineer your digital environment. In fact, nowadays the two go hand-in-hand – because you need your network cabling, wireless access points, telecom systems, and digital hardware to integrate seamlessly with your office’s physical layout, electrical wiring, plumbing, HVAC, and other features.
Plus, it’s the perfect time to apply allocated budget dollars to the foundation of your agency’s digital future.
