[ipad] Is anyone using, and willing to demo, Lightspeed in the South West?

Hi all

 

We are in the middle of an IPad trial and are currently using the free version of Meraki MDM.

 

We've given the IPads to our test students as, essentially, BYOD devices so they can install what they want.

 

Given the recent Daily Mail article and thread on here I and my line manager are interested in seeing how other schools control their IPads. My line manager has seen Lightspeed at a school in Yorkshire and seems to think it gives a much greater degree of control over BYOD Ipads (as opposed to supervised) than Meraki does.

 

I don't know if this is the case or not, but it would be good to see Lightspeed and IPads in action.

 

So, if you're a school who uses IPads and Lightspeed, makes the IPads use your filtered internet connection, and controls what apps the kids use (i.e. you let them install apps, but blacklist others and remove them if necessary) and wouldn't mind giving us a demo it would be very gratefully received.

 

We're based in South Devon so can travel up to Birmingham or to London within a day, so can travel to anywhere within this 'catchment area'.

 

Many thanks if you can help.
