Key Background
The sheer acceleration of education technology has generated a growing need for more teaching and learning hardware. As imperative as processing and approving these new requests for edtech, it inherently has the aspect of being a headache for school administrators in aspects of inefficiencies and security threats. ClassLink came up with AppTrack, which is a tool to accelerate edtech approvals with security and compliance.
ClassLink, a top ed-tech provider of identity and access management software, serves 22 million students and educators across 3,000 school districts. AppTrack provides the company with an efficient and adaptable process that assigns process owners to requests, follows approval steps, and possesses separate visibility for stakeholders. The process ensures that every request is reviewed in a structured manner with no possibility of gaps or holds.
AppTrack also includes review milestones of cybersecurity, data privacy compliance, interoperability with current systems, and instructional applicability. With all of the tools being certified to district specifications and requirements, schools are assured confidence in using edtech solutions that meet both operation and instructional goals.
Other than these features, AppTrack has budgeting functionality to enable district administrators to track approximate levels of spend and prevent surprise spend. The single dashboard is shared by curriculum leaders, IT organizations, and finance teams, and it encourages collaboration and data-driven decision making.
In addition to supporting its customers, ClassLink has brought this with platform innovations across the board, such as improved data analysis, additional credential detection with ThreatScan, and further streamlined integration tools. These are more helpful towards its mission of facilitating edtech governance and deployment by schools of secure and efficient solutions.
With AppTrack, ClassLink not only streamlines edtech reviews but enables education leaders to make secure, safe, and cost-effective technology decisions—ultimately driving classroom innovation while retaining control and compliance.
