What are the key use cases of a smart campus?
Occupancy Analytics and Behavioral Insights
Universities can enhance efficiency and safety by studying occupancy and utilisation of spaces, thereby identifying underutilised areas for effective resource reallocation. Real-time and historic information on buildings guides decisions on space requirements, while density monitoring ensures adherence to safety guidelines. Integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and registrar systems enables efficient attendance tracking by correlating occupancy data with class schedules. Analysing student movement patterns helps in designing layouts that meet student needs and optimising resource use. Further, mapping usage trends such as the impact of library hours on grades, can enhance academic performance and student retention efforts.
Better Student Safety and Experience
Network-based solutions revolutionise attendance tracking by automatically detecting student devices in classrooms for accurate, effortless record-keeping. Integrated learning management systems deliver personalised reminders, like class and assignment alerts, based on students' proximity to relevant locations. In emergencies, real-time location data is crucial for swiftly locating staff and students, streamlining evacuations or rescue efforts. Advanced wayfinding systems provide on-the-go directions to classes, activities, and available collaborative spaces, enhancing campus experience. Furthermore, sophisticated indoor navigation using digital maps ensures students and guests navigate large campuses with ease, saving time and improving accessibility.
Microsoft 365 Security Maturity Assessment
As organisations continue to develop and expand their digital operations, the amount of services and licences that need to be managed and utilised is also steadily increasing. Whether due to a lack of time, resource, or a combination of the two, we’ve identified that many organisations are struggling to optimise their Microsoft licensing to best enhance their organisational security.
To help our clients achieve the best possible security posture, ITGL has developed a new Microsoft 365 Security Maturity Assessment solution, which includes a robust evaluation of up to 170 different controls within a variety of Microsoft portals
Incident Response Readiness Assessment (IRRA)
With attacks growing in sophistication and frequency, organisations are faced with the need to reassess their business continuity and disaster recovery plans, ensuring that effective cyber incident response planning is at the heart of it.
As part of the Conscia Group – an internationally renowned security services provider – we partner with organisations to provide the expertise and experience they need to complete this comprehensive review, through our Incident Response Readiness Assessment (IRRA).
Zero Trust
With more business applications and resources moving to the cloud, and our engagement with them shifting out of the office, we stand to enjoy a lot of benefits – but these benefits come with risk! By removing our traditional perimeter, we not only make it easier for our employees to access business resources, we also make it easier for cyber criminals.
Adopting Zero Trust Architecture does not need to be an all or nothing approach, and there is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We guide you through the following steps to ensure you achieve the outcomes you desire, without the stress and complexity.
