ONE 2021 EDUCATION UPDATE - EDITION FEB/MAR 2021 - CompNow
INTRODUCTION
As we kick off 2021 with the new school year, I reflect on
the year that was.
We saw massive change to the way we lived our lives, now back to what we would call
“normality”. I saw schools work hard to adopt new technologies quickly, to assist them with
remote learning which I feel has accelerated the use of such tools by years.
At CompNow, we would normally have attended or hosted approximately 100 events last
year, this dropped to about 10 nationally, so we had to move online to stay engaged with
our clients. We implemented our webinar series, that was hugely successful and we will be
building on that in 2021 with a heap of great content and speakers coming to our YouTube
channel, so make sure you “like and subscribe!”.
We finished off 2020 with a couple of big announcements, that CompNow are now a
Google Enterprise for Education partner and able to facilitate all the requirements around               Brendan Redpath

obtaining and deploying the products, which is fantastic news. We also have some exciting                brendan.redpath@compnow.com.au
news around Chromebook, so watch this space!
Late last year, CompNow was also elevated by Extreme networks to be 1 of only 2 partners nationally recognised has a Black Diamond
partner, which is the highest level partnership they have, which is great recognition of the work our teams have put in to achieve this.
Also, even in these times of remote learning, our ZTouch interactive panel amazed us with its success, almost not being able to produce
the panels quick enough due to the amount of schools that are implementing them as a key part of the in class experience. It remains the
best value product in the interactive panel market.
For our schools that use Apple, there was the big change with the introduction of the M1 chip, which created challenges, however our
engineering team were well prepared, our BDM’s took a lot of calls from parents and we successfully assisted many schools to transition to
the new technology. With the change from Intel, the “speeds and feeds” of the new processor make the M1 a device that all Apple schools
should be getting a test device into their school, if not already!
The new Surface Pro has also been announced, which will see a performance jump, with Microsoft also considering the move to a ARM
processor, so that will be interesting to see when that comes to market.
Overall this year, the team is excited about the new technology launches, however, like me, they are looking forward to getting together with our
clients and partners in person. I am looking forward to doing a few road trips interstate to catch up with some long time clients and new ones!
Hope you all have a great start to the year!
Regards, Brendan

APPLE SCHOOL
MANAGER
Everything you need to use Apple
in your school.
Apple School Manager is a service that lets you buy
content, configure Automated Device Enrolment in
your mobile device management (MDM) solution and
create accounts for your students & staff.
Apple School Manager is one central place for admins to create Apple IDs, build courses and access everything
you need to deploy iPad in your school. All from the web browser on your Mac or PC.

               Fast Setup
               A built-in setup assistant provides step-by-step instructions to create Managed Apple IDs, enrol
               IT administrators, purchase content, manage device enrolment & more.

               Manage MDM Enrolment
               Quickly find devices your school has purchased through Apple or CompNow. You can also
               oversee MDM server information, configure enrolment settings & streamline device setup.

               Course Delivery
               Now it’s even simpler for teachers to create and deliver lessons with iTunes U. Schools can
               train their staff members with the iTunes U Course Manager, then use Managed Apple IDs to
               connect teachers and students.

               Buy & Distribute
               It’s easy to make volume purchases of Apps and Books. Your education discount is
               automatically applied to the Apps you buy. And you can distribute or remove materials to
               students or staff with a few keystrokes.

               Account Creation
               Apple School Manager lets you securely access all of your school’s key enrolment information.
               By connecting to your Student Information System, you can set up IT managers, create
               accounts, and locate students, staff & classes, including federation with Azure AD.
