Simtrol Incorporated, an innovative developer of device management software, recently announced an exclusive partnership with Promethean Incorporated, a global leader in interactive educational solutions. The partnership will be mutually beneficial to both companies, allowing Promethean to integrate Simtrol’s device management software into their multifunctional electronic device control systems. The Activclassroom technology allows the operator, typically a teacher, to effectively and efficiently manage all classroom equipment such as PC’s, projectors, document cameras, and other devices, from a central location.
The real winners in this alliance are the taxpayers funding schools who will get to take advantage of the increased efficiencies of this device. The partnership will make teachers more efficient as they save time and energy to more efficiently teach children with the benefits of electronic media. Teaching with the assistance of electronic media has been proven to engage and motivate students during class activities.
In addition to motivating learning, the new products will allow administrators to remotely and proactively manage their equipment to ensure optimal use, reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, and extend product shelf-life. This will make resources last longer and ultimately allow for school budgets to be spent in a more effective manner. As resources and budget increases become leaner and harder to come by, products like these from Simtrol and Promethean will allow schools to stretch their budgets and provide the best for the children for whom they are responsible.
The CEO of Simtrol, Oliver Cooper commented on the alliance saying, “School systems will immediately benefit from our integrated device management capabilities that enable management of assets at the classroom, school, and district levels. We are excited to partner with a visionary company like Promethean to offer our device management expertise to improve the educational experience and help schools to reduce operating costs.”
