How NC State University transitioned to and from crisis mode

NC State University spent the past year and a half providing device lending for all university students, staff and faculty through the NC State University Libraries lending program. Last year, we gave a presentation on our lending and remote management plan for the pandemic. As NC State emerges from the pandemic, we discuss:

• A review of "a year like no other" and the actions taken to secure, provision and provide remote learning devices to the university
• Maintaining control of inventory for off-site deployments with Jamf Pro's API and Google Suite offerings
• Lessons learned from a year and a half of a fully remote workforce and pedagogy
• Taking those lessons forward into the future with an automation first mindset
