The story of NCA International

The story

Nicaragua Christian Academy International is a school located in Nicaragua, Central America. The aim of NCA international is to provide education for children of expatriate evangelical missionary families. NCA holds a high commitment to provide children with education firmly rooted in good values of life. It is fully accredited in the US with AdvancED and ACSI. It’s also an evangelical and non-profit organization which is equipped to impact society through the development of moral values and academic perfection.

Thomás Gutiérrez, the Technology Coordinator of NCA International wanted to use Apple School Manager, which is a simple web-based portal for IT administrators, to deploy all the Apple devices from one place. Apple suggested Thomás to use Apple School Manager with an MDM solution to avail greater flexibility for configuring device settings, buying and distributing apps and books. So, he started his quest for an apt MDM solution.

After trying out a few MDMs, Thomás and his team decided to go with Hexnode. Hexnode turned out to be a standout performer in the MDM field as it offered a lot of features for a reasonable price compared to other MDMs. It was simple to use and the configurations worked great for the school. The user-friendly UI of the product was a great bonus.

Thomás had to push specific apps to the iPads that were issued to the teachers in the school. Hexnode allowed to push necessary apps on to the devices remotely. This made the process of installing apps faster and saved significant amount of time. The battery levels of each iPad could be monitored through the Hexnode portal and OS updates were pushed to the devices easily. Managing all the iPads became an effortless task with the help of Hexnode.

Thomás was very impressed with the support team of Hexnode. The customer support service answered real quick and made sure everything was smooth sailing. Hexnode’s robustness was key for fulfilling all the requirements in the best possible way. Hexnode proved to be a stellar MDM solution once again and keeps working on coming up with something better each time for the customers.

In a nutshell

The NCA International school needed a way for installing apps remotely to the iPads provided to the teachers. With the help of Hexnode, apps were installed in the devices effortlessly. Thomás didn’t have to go to each classroom and physically install apps in each iPad, thus saving significant amount of time. The product was user-friendly, management of the devices were flawless and the customer support of Hexnode was top-notch.
