CTL, a leading education technology lifecycle partner, has officially announced the launch of a newly refreshed Complete Fleet Service for extensive networks of physical or virtual schools.
According to certain reports, CTL’s latest brainchild effectively combines the flexibility and customization that schools need with deep, scale-tested logistics and technical expertise to ensure streamlined rollouts for Chromebooks and related EdTech. More on the same would reveal how the company’s Complete Fleet Service now features a new student repair CTE curriculum, new certified IT asset disposition capabilities, and a host of new concierge services, including 3rd party software collaborations and refreshed online ordering portals for schools.
Not just that, the service also offers services throughout the program lifecycle, each one capable of saving K12 IT staff time, cost, and effort. We say so because, right from strategy through procurement, deployment, maintenance, and now retirement, CTL brings forth white-glove service in a 1:1 technology lifecycle partnership with clients.
“Successfully deploying thousands of Chromebooks and other EdTech requires a detailed, hands-on approach, not just a shipping label. With our newly enhanced Complete Fleet Service, we act as an extension of our customers’ IT teams, providing the custom, concierge-level support needed to ensure every device is ready for teaching and learning from day one,” said Jason Mendenhall, CEO of CTL.
Talk about the CTL’s updated Complete Fleet Service on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the promise of program planning and consulting. This translates to how the company’s dedicated account management provides best-practice planning and advice, delivers IT consulting for infrastructure or other program needs, as well as creates a program plan that achieves client goals.
Next up, we have an assortment of best-fit device solutions coming into play. Here, CTL curates a mix of Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, Apple devices, Windows devices, interactive panels, carts, accessories, and other devices to deliver a best-in-class EdTech solution. On top of it, CTL also offers refurbished options.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in a facility dedicated towards facilitating smooth configuration and deployment. You see, CTL expertly manages the significant logistical complexity of your large program configuration and deployment. The solution markedly does so by leveraging a wide array of customized configuration options, ZTE enrollment, asset tagging, custom branding, asset management, new 3rd party software collaborations, and effortless drop shipping to any number of locations.
Beyond that, there is a concierge project management solution, which empowers clients to access dedicated, executive-level account management and technical service throughout their program, spanning weekly or monthly sync meetings, reporting customized to client data needs and cadence, and newly refreshed private-branded online ordering portals.
Hold on, we still have a couple of bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet touched upon the prospect of simplifying maintenance. For CTL devices, the company essentially delivers several device maintenance and repair options, including authorized CTL depot repair, authorized self-repair programs, and a new student repair curriculum for career and technical education (CTE).
Rounding up highlights would be an assortment of new IT asset disposition services. For better understanding, users can now reclaim value from retired computing assets. As a Certified B Corporation, CTL now also offers significant e-waste mitigation services including device buybacks with cash back or credit toward new device purchases, certified and audited data destruction, and R2v3 certified recycling to avoid environmental harm.
Founded in 1989, CTL’s rise up the ranks stems from delivering award-winning product and service solutions that, on their part, can streamline the entire EdTech lifecycle. The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider customers in more than 65 countries rely on CTL’s Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, and video collaboration tools, along with its deployment, maintenance, and IT asset disposition lifecycle services.
In case that wasn’t enough, CTL has also earned designations as a Google for Education Premier Partner, a Google Cloud Partner, and an Intel Technology Platinum Partner.
“Our reputation was built on delivering some of the most demanding, large-scale Chromebook deployments in education. Other companies sell devices; we deliver fully-managed solutions. For any school network facing a complex rollout, our team’s depth of experience isn’t just a benefit—it’s the single most important factor for guaranteeing teaching and learning success from day one,” said Mendenhall.
