School administration software & Apple integration

From class management to device setup – seamless with ASM, M365 & MDM

A timetable for your IT processes.

We connect your school administration software - e.g., Escola - with Apple School Manager and Microsoft 365. This creates automated workflows for Managed Apple IDs, classes/groups, device assignments, and educational apps - secure, GDPR-compliant, and practical.

Why this integration is crucial

Less manual labor, more teaching time.

Decoupling school administration, identities, and device management creates disruptions in daily operations. The integration of synchronized roles, classes, and groups automatically supplies MDM/UEM with the correct information for assignments, policies, and apps, resulting in less administrative effort, clear processes, and consistent security.





School ↔ ASM and School ↔ Microsoft 365 Result:

What we integrate

From SIS to MDM – a seamless data flow.

  • Classes, teachers, and learners are automatically mirrored. School ↔ Apple School Manager (ASM)

  • : Identities, groups, and team structures remain synchronized. School ↔ Microsoft 365

  • (Jamf School/Pro, Intune, FileWave) for profiles, apps, policies – including zero-touch deployment. MDM/UEM connectivity

Features for everyday school life

Lessons begin – equipment is working.

  • with controlled iCloud services and clear permissions. Managed Apple IDs
  • for flexible room scenarios and projects. Shared iPads/Guest users
  • for teaching apps and profiles, without helpdesk ticket. Self-Service
  • by class, level, or role. Automated app/content distribution

From the master data source to the end device.

Everything fits together perfectly.

Integration process – step by step

Standardized, transparent, repeatable.

1. Analysis & Target Vision

  • IST systems (Escola/ASM/M365/MDM)
  • Roles, classes, data protection regulations

2. Data & Role Model

  • Mapping the Class/Group/Role
  • Naming conventions & Ownership

4. Pilot & Didactic Test

  • Class pilot, app sets, workflows
  • Feedback from teachers/IT

3. Interfaces & Provisioning

  • activate School ↔ ASM/M365
  • Connect UEM/MDM, define zero-touch

5. Rollout

  • Device assignment via ASM, profiles/apps per class
  • Self-service for additional needs

6. Operations & Change Management

  • DEV–QUAL–PROD, CAB, Rollback
  • Documentation IQ/OQ/WI

Advantages for schools and school authorities

Manage more easily, teach more securely.

Automated workflows instead of manual labor

Classes, roles, and device assignments run automatically via interfaces (e.g., Escola↔ASM/M365) – this reduces maintenance effort and sources of error.

Consistent security & data protection

Uniform guidelines for teachers and learners ensure clear access and clean data flows – school-wide and across all levels.

Faster start to lessons

and provide devices, apps, and content on time - the lesson begins without technical hurdles. Zero-Touch-Enrollment Self-Service

Scalable from kindergarten to university

Integration is growing: from individual schools to cantonal associations – with support in . DE/FR/IT/EN

Data Protection & Compliance

Clean separation, clear responsibilities.

Federation with Entra ID/Google IDP

Identities are securely connected; logins and permissions remain centrally controllable.

Role-based rights & least privilege

Teachers, learners, and administrators receive exactly the access they need - no more, no less.

Orderly offboarding without data leakage

When individuals leave the school, content remains protected; data is withdrawn in compliance with regulations.

DLP & BYOD implemented cleanly

Separation of private and school data (e.g., partial enrollment or MAM/container) as well as verifiable policies for audits.
