SUPPORT
Modern education depends on technology more than ever. Classrooms run on digital tools, administrators rely on seamless systems to manage daily operations, and students expect reliable access to learning platforms. At The Walker Group, we understand how much smooth, secure technology matters to the success of every school, college, and educational institution. That’s why our managed IT services for education are built around reliability, proactive support, and a human-first approach. Whether you’re a small independent school or a multi-campus district, our goal is to take the stress out of IT, reduce downtime, improve security, and give your teachers, staff, and students the dependable experience they deserve.
With decades of experience supporting education and public-sector organizations, we bring a thoughtful mix of strategy, service, and support. Our team becomes an extension of your team, handling monitoring, cybersecurity, cloud services, backups, end-user support, and long-term planning. Instead of juggling tech issues, your staff can focus on learning, community, and growth.
Fully Managed IT Services Built for Schools
Fully managed IT services mean our team oversees your entire technology environment. Schools often prefer this approach because it removes the burden of daily IT maintenance and gives them access to experts who anticipate issues before they interrupt learning.
Our fully managed services for education include:
24/7 Monitoring and Maintenance
We continuously monitor your servers, networks, devices, and systems to identify issues early and keep everything running smoothly.
Help Desk and Tech Support
Teachers and administrators get quick, friendly support whenever technical problems arise. No delays, no confusion, just clear answers and fast solutions.
Strategic IT Roadmaps
We help plan for future growth, new tools, device management, and infrastructure upgrades. Your school gets an IT plan that aligns with budget, goals, and long-term vision.
Vendor Management
We coordinate with software and hardware providers so your staff doesn’t have to. From licensing to renewals, we take care of the details.
With fully managed IT, your institution gets a complete IT department without the cost and staffing challenges of hiring one.
Cybersecurity and Data Protection for Education
Cybersecurity is one of the biggest concerns for schools today. With students, staff, and administration all relying on digital resources, institutions have become prime targets for cyberattacks. The Walker Group provides robust security designed specifically for educational environments.
Our cybersecurity services include:
Advanced Threat Detection
We monitor your systems for suspicious activity to stop threats before they escalate.

Backup & Disaster Recovery
Accidents happen, systems fail, and data can be lost, unless you have a strong recovery plan. Our disaster recovery solutions protect against data loss, ensuring continuity even in emergencies.
In a world where education has become increasingly digital, cybersecurity is not only a service, it’s a necessity.
Cloud, Infrastructure, and Digital Transformation
Education is rapidly shifting toward cloud-based platforms and hybrid learning tools. The Walker Group helps schools modernize their digital environment in a way that feels seamless and approachable.
