Managed NextGen Education IT Services
Helping Schools Meet Educational Standards
Major changes in education continue to shape and influence how students access and consume information. With the rise of online and hybrid schooling, education institutions need to be prepared for any threats that may inhibit their students’ ability to learn, no matter where they are learning from.
Thrive’s team of dedicated education experts are there to help ensure schools have 24x7x365 access to everything from security to end user support, to foster an environment conducive to learning.
Driving Better Business Outcomes
“Unlike other cloud and third-party providers that offer temporary fixes, Thrive provides a long-term solution, enabling our company to evolve and access resources and support as needed.”

Ahead of the Curve in the Fast-Moving World of Education
Thrive understands the evolving needs of students, educators,
and parents. Schools may be large enterprises, but they essentially function as a small business. Our goal is to make sure the right tools and processes are in place so all parties involved are set up to succeed.
While many schools will keep traditional learning methods in place, hybrid and remote learning will continue to be a major part of the future. Ensuring your students and faculty’s sensitive information is protected should be at the top of your back-to-school to-do list.
We take the steps to equip schools with the latest technology, software, and training, acting as collaborators capable of adding value to your IT department, without stretching already tight school district budgets.

Cloud for Education
Thrive builds tailored Cloud infrastructures for educational institutions, knowing there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. Thrive’s customizable Cloud solutions control costs and provides flexibility, allowing seamless and secure application access from anywhere.
Thrive meets the needs of educational institutions utilizing a broad array of products, from Microsoft Office to Google for Education and beyond, to ensure everyone has access to a Cloud solution that matches operational and budget requirements.
Cybersecurity for Education
Security issues pose risks for administrators, faculty, and students. Thrive’s cybersecurity services provide real-time updates so you can stay ahead of threats before they happen.
We take a multi-layered approach to secure an institution from the threats of today, preventing breaches and data threats through managed endpoint security, mail filtering, DNS filtering, and other targeted offerings.
Procurement and Product Management
Students deserve access to computing devices at school and at home and teachers can only provide the best possible learning experience when the right technologies are available to all. Thrive ensures educational organizations have a technological advantage by procuring hardware, software, and the necessary equipment that will ensure technology is never creating a roadblock.
We have the expertise to set up the procurement processes and manage one-to-one programs for schools, providing smooth rollouts and support by tying equipment purchases back to the local mobile device management system.
Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service for Education
Establishing a disaster recovery plan allows schools to access important records and sensitive information when critical systems become unavailable. We will craft a disaster recovery plan that best matches an emergency preparedness plan while better understanding potential causes and effects of downtime.
Natural disasters, human error, and cyber attack attempts can even force the closure of schools or districts if data cannot be recovered easily. When data is backed up in a third-party cloud environment, administrators, faculty, and students will have access to applications, data, and critical resources.
