Revealed for the first time at this year’s BETT conference, RM Neon was created to address the needs and challenges facing IT managers in schools of all sizes, helping them to deal with the rapidly changing technology that is integrated into teaching and learning on a daily basis.

RM Neon empowers IT managers and their team to view and manage a school’s entire infrastructure network from a range of different devices, all through one interface. RM Neon also features flight decks, a script library and a support community giving IT managers instant access to technical expertise and knowledge.

Through the Control Centre, IT managers can make real-time decisions wherever they are based, meaning that any issues can be quickly identified and rectified before they become a costly and time-consuming disruption. The flightdeck graphs and tables can be customised to allow staff to manage day-to-day operations while identifying new trends, and the flight decks can be customised to share with the school’s wider management team to enable greater collaboration and effective planning for the future.

Bron Musgrave, Product Manager at RM Education, said: “Through the research we carried out, we found that IT managers had highlighted a need to create their own customised flight decks so it’s easier for them and other staff to access key performance data and the metrics that are important to them.

“In addition to the benefits RM Neon offers to IT staff, it has hugely positive implications for the entire school. Through RM Neon, IT managers can share common network tasks, enabling teachers and support staff to change passwords and do other routine tasks.“Not only does this increase efficiency across the whole school’s operations but it frees up schools’ IT staff to dedicate their expertise to more complex scenarios.”

RM Neon also incorporates a local PowerShell script library which helps to increase productivity by allowing the network team to create and edit management tools to run jobs that can be simply scheduled by their staff at the touch of a button. These scripts can then be shared with the wider RM Neon Community, where IT staff can access and exchange knowledge and best practice techniques and collaborate with other professionals across the UK.
