Education

At Macuity, we understand the critical role technology plays in education. Our team has a proven history and years of experience working in every aspect of education IT, from infrastructure planning to large-scale workstation deployment and management. Our engineers can help you design your network, identify server requirements, scale existing network resources, and deploy anything from a small lab to an entire campus of workstations.  Our technicians hold the highest technical certification possible with Apple: Apple Certified Systems Administrator, 10.6. This expertise in complex OS X Server and Client configuration and troubleshooting is essential for complex projects like the ones generally undertaken to prepare for a new academic year.

Supplement your IT

We will gladly work with existing IT staff or provide complete end-to-end solutions from early planning and budgeting to system installations and configuration. Too many summer projects? Let our team help lighten the load with planning system rollouts and upgrades. We specialize in planning and creating deployment images and best practices for highly efficient mass deployments.

Custom Solutions

We can provide custom tools and scripts tailored to meet unique needs. From automating repetitive tasks to monitoring services, we can write your shell scripts, AppleScripts, command line C tools, and even native OS X Cocoa Applications.

Training

Teacher workshops? We are happy to provide training for groups of teachers and administrators on a number of subjects from iLife to Google Docs, Microsoft Office to creating Podcasts. Our workshops are fun and casual yet very informative. Schedule a workshop over your next school vacation!
