On Thursday, May 10th and Friday May 11th 2012 Broadview Networks and Dell participated in the annual two day National and Education and Technology Conference, “Riding the Wave of Change” in Gimli, Manitoba.

This annual conference brings presenters from across Canada and the United States to cover the many timely issues in technology and education. Presenters regularly include both technology and education experts dealing with such subjects as multimedia, Internet and infusing ICT into the classroom.

Broadview Networks and Dell presented two sessions titled, “Mobile Device Management.”  As schools begin to embrace mobile devices for teaching and learning purposes, they need an efficient way to securely and reliably manage those devices – without adding more IT staff or overburdening data center resources. Broadview Networks and Dell offer systems management options that can help your school district integrate mobile learning into daily teaching practices.
