The Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Wayne Township and MSD of Steuben County in Indiana sought to enhance their digital infrastructure. Both districts aimed to simplify access to online resources, improve app usage insights, and automate account provisioning for seamless operations.
Students and educators struggled with managing numerous usernames and passwords for various platforms. MSD Wayne Township CTO Anthony Harvey noted, "We were having difficulty with student access to learning materials because all the major applications [had] their own usernames and passwords."
Both districts faced challenges in maintaining accurate, up-to-date user data, causing inefficiencies and security concerns. Additionally, they lacked visibility into app usage, which hindered their ability to make informed purchasing and resource allocation decisions.
ClassLink provided both districts with a unified Single Sign-On (SSO) solution, streamlining access to all digital resources through a single platform. "With the ClassLink LaunchPad, students put in your username and password once, and you have access to every tool assigned to you," said Chantell Manahan, MSD of Steuben’s Director of Technology.
ClassLink's Analytics and Analytics+ tools delivered critical insights into app usage patterns, empowering the districts to optimize spending and resource allocation. Manahan added, "Looking at those numbers helps us understand if we're making the right decisions for the funds that we have available."
OneSync automated account provisioning, ensuring that users received the appropriate access rights while reducing IT workload. "OneSync allows us to provision all our users, both new and existing, and ensures that those people have all the rights and access they need," Harvey explained.
Roster Server kept student data accurate and secure, refreshing and synchronizing data seamlessly. Manahan praised Roster Server's flexibility: "You can also pick and choose which data sets are sent, so ClassLink gives us that peace of mind on a security side."
It's just made life a lot easier because it's a solution that just works.
