Software deployment – Sofia
Sofia informatique manages three sectors of activity, primary and nursery schools (104 Sites), secondary schools with 8 colleges plus 3 new ones next year and finally PMTCT. WAPT is deployed and used in the 8 colleges or about 2000 workstations. WAPT is currently being deployed in primary and nursery schools, i.e. approximately 3000 workstations.
Implementation of a software deployment solution: WAPT
Context
- Sofia Informatique: an IT services company dedicated to the education sector and SMEs
- 8 colleges + a main server at Sofia informatique
- 104 schools in the process of being deployed
- 5000 jobs in total
- 7 adminsys
- Server os: CentOS
- Homogeneous park under Windows 10 pro
Issues
“The demand for software installation in colleges is the majority of our interventions. Teachers need software for a particular period or concept. The deployment must be done quickly and we needed to get a feedback from the deployment status. We were using a class management solution with an AdminSys part but the deployment functionality was too heavy and not very efficient. After some research we came across WAPT. I tested and found the project philosophy to be very compatible with how we work. 80% of our interventions are related to a request to install or update software.”
– Bastien Travers, Managing Partner – Sofia
