\n
\n
Security & Compliance<\/h5>

Compliance with standards such as NIS-2 is essential. Research institutions involved in applied or experimental development for commercial purposes must comply with data protection regulations while allowing flexible access for researchers. Without centralized control, shadow IT can emerge, posing security risks. acmp enables automated security monitoring and flexible rights structures to balance security and productivity. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Scarcity of resources & cost pressure<\/h5>

Schools, universities and research institutions often manage thousands of devices with just a few IT staff. Automation solutions significantly reduce the administrative burden and make it possible to provide functional IT with limited resources. Funding programmes such as the DigitalPakt Schule and its successors also offer opportunities for modernization. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Inefficient IT infrastructure<\/h5>

Manually managing software installations, license management and updates takes time and involves risks. Automated processes in the acmp Suite ensure smooth workflows, reduce errors and significantly reduce the workload of IT teams. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Interoperability & scalability<\/h5>

Modern research requires a flexible IT infrastructure that integrates Windows, Mac and Linux systems. A central management platform enables the seamless integration of new technologies and the efficient management of large IT environments - even across multiple locations. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Transparent management of software licenses in educational institutions<\/h5>

Universities, research laboratories and schools use a variety of software solutions that need to be managed and licensed. acmp License Management provides a central overview of all licenses used, identifies dependencies and helps to avoid over- or under-licensing. Automated reports facilitate the verification of license compliance and optimize the cost structure for educational institutions. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
Why is centralized Unified Endpoint Management particularly important in research and education?<\/h5>

Research and educational institutions face the challenge of managing a large number of devices and software solutions with often limited IT resources. In addition, researchers often work internationally and require flexible, secure IT access. Centralized unified endpoint management ensures the automated provision of software, updates and security policies - regardless of whether it is student laptops, laboratory computers or library PCs. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How does acmp help with compliance with data protection and security guidelines (e.g. NIS-2)?<\/h5>

Educational institutions process personal data of pupils, students and employees, while research institutions often work with sensitive project data. acmp offers comprehensive security functions such as vulnerability management, software distribution and automated patch processes. This makes it easier to implement NIS 2 or data protection guidelines such as the GDPR, while preventing unsecured devices from jeopardizing IT security. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How can acmp support research institutions with license management?<\/h5>

Research institutions often use specialized software such as MATLAB, SPSS or CAD applications with expensive and complex licensing models. With acmp, IT teams can keep track of all licenses and avoid unnecessary costs due to over-licensing. Automatic reports also help to renew license agreements in good time and meet compliance requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What role does automation play in educational institutions?<\/h5>

Schools, universities and research institutions often only have small IT teams, but have to manage a large number of devices and user groups. Automation simplifies everyday tasks such as software distribution in computer rooms, the central installation of examination software or updating learning management systems. This leaves more time for supporting teachers and researchers. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Can acmp also be used in schools with limited IT staff?<\/h5>

Yes, schools in particular benefit from acmp, as recurring IT tasks can be automated - such as resetting student laptops after a school year or distributing updates. This means that even teachers without in-depth IT knowledge can manage standard tasks efficiently without having to rely on external service providers. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How does acmp support research in the management of large, distributed IT structures?<\/h5>

Research institutes and universities often operate IT environments with thousands of devices at different locations or even internationally. acmp enables centralized management of all systems, whether in laboratories, libraries or office buildings. In addition, support for Windows, Mac and Linux devices ensures flexibility - important for research projects that require different hardware and software environments. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What training courses are available for IT teams in education and research?<\/h5>

As many IT departments in schools and research institutions are under great time pressure, aagon offers targeted training courses to enable a quick introduction to acmp. In addition to practical workshops, there are administrator training courses for secure operation and online courses for new features. Universities and large research institutions can also book individual training packages. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How long does the implementation of acmp take?<\/h5>

The duration depends on the size of the institution and the existing IT infrastructure. Schools and smaller institutes can introduce acmp in a few days, while implementation in universities with several locations can take several weeks. However, thanks to preconfigured modules and structured implementation concepts, acmp can be put into productive use quickly without disrupting ongoing operations. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Can acmp be integrated into existing IT systems in research and education?<\/h5>

Yes, many universities and research institutes already rely on hybrid IT landscapes with on-premises and cloud services. Support for different operating systems also enables flexible use in interdisciplinary research projects. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What advantages does acmp offer over conventional IT management tools?<\/h5>

Thanks to its optimized focus on the requirements of medium-sized IT departments, acmp is also ideal for use in research and education. A quick and uncomplicated rollout is therefore possible without any problems. It combines powerful automation functions with high security standards and flexible scalability. This means that small schools as well as large universities or international research projects can manage their IT efficiently - regardless of the size or complexity of the environment. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":5399,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5954","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nResearch and education -
