The Problem
Every day school leaders face many challenges. A growing number of leaders recognize that students, educators, and parents need unfettered access to educational information. As a result, IT is being asked to manage an increasingly complex environment with limited resources.
Details
This shift in computing is enabled by moving applications, documents, and data off of the device and into the computer room where they can be easily managed and provisioned. Devices like netbooks leverage Stoneware's webNetwork to provide secure access to both applications and data through an ubiquitous web desktop interface. Built on web technologies and designed around the concept of access, the user’s desktop is available from any device such as laptops, desktops, thin client machines and smart phones. Whether from home, at the library, or in the classroom, users with be able to access the critical information they need to advance the learning experience within the district.
The Stoneware's webNetwork changes the education computing paradigm, meets the growing demands of parents, students, and educators, and simplifies IT management.
The Solution

Students - webNetwork provides students with a universal web desktop that is not tied to a specific location or a particular device. As students move between school and home they have a common desktop that delivers secure access to all of their Web, Windows, and hosted applications. In addition, students can easily access their network home and shared file directories from anywhere there is a browser and an Internet connection. Educators can level the playing field by providing all students with consistent web access to continue their studies from anywhere, at anytime.

Teachers - An educator's work often continues after the last school bell rings. webNetwork can provide educators with secure, remote access to grading, discipline, and course content systems from home or on the road.

Parents - As school leaders strive to provide parents with more online tools and information to improve their child’s education. webNetwork can help by creating a secure extranet that simplifies access to educational information and content that is spread across multiple backend systems, and secured with a variety of account names and passwords. webNetwork’s portal, reporting, and single sign-on technology can provide parents with that single point of access to all their student’s information.
