Simplify Digital Learning with MDM for Higher Education
Technology is at the core of modern learning. From classrooms to remote lectures, colleges and universities rely on secure, connected devices to power daily operations. FileWave’s Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) gives higher education IT teams full control over every device, app, and update; all from a single dashboard.
With cross-platform support, remote management, and built-in security, FileWave helps institutions reduce costs, protect sensitive student data, and keep learning uninterrupted.

Why Higher Education Institutions Choose FileWave
BYOD Made Simple
Many colleges embrace Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies to improve flexibility and reduce hardware costs. FileWave integrates seamlessly with Apple, Windows, and Android devices, allowing students to use their own laptops, tablets, and smartphones for learning and collaboration.
Remote Support & Control
When a device needs troubleshooting, IT teams can remotely access and fix issues in real time, keeping students and staff connected without disruption. In case of loss or theft, admins can remotely wipe data to maintain privacy and prevent unauthorized access.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Protecting sensitive information is essential for every university and college. FileWave enforces the OS-based encryption methods, secure network connectivity, and role-based access control to prevent unauthorized data access. IT admins can also monitor compliance and control the security posture of every endpoint.
Self-Service Kiosk Mode
Students can independently install pre-approved educational software through a self-service kiosk, reducing the burden on IT help desks. This feature gives learners quick access to the tools they need while maintaining full administrative control.

What IT admins say about FileWave
Deana Elder / Technology Support Coordinator at Billings Public Schools
Without FileWave, I would need four to six more computer techs. The cost of a person in a building versus what FileWave costs is significantly different.
Greg Hughey / Technology Coordinator
I am the only technican at my school, and without FileWave there is just no way I could keep the entire IT running. It's really user-friendly, and makes managing devices easy.
Larry Benshoof / Supervisor of Technical Support Services at St. Louis Park Schools
We wanted a multi-platform solution. FileWave was the only product that we were looking at that can manage everything that we have.
Manu Ketelslegers / IT Consultant & Trainer
We have roughly 20 years of experience with FileWave product and it helps us a lot to facilitate what our customers need. There are some killer features you can not find with the competition.
Martin Werren / Head of Publishing & Content
FileWave has killer features not found in competitive solutions. It saves us more than 50% of the time by allowing us to make changes at the file level – modify, test, and deploy. And we got started quickly too, after a two-day training, we already onboarded our IT team.
Michael Engelsen / Systems Administrator
FileWave has allowed us to streamline our device onboarding and off-boarding processes. As a System Administrator, I appreciate the ability to manage both Windows and Apple devices from a single console. Our organization would not be the same without FileWave.
