Transforming Campus Security: How a University Future-Proofed Its Safety Infrastructure

Every day, our customers face real challenges that impact their communities. At SCW, we’re proud to be the partner they count on when it matters most. 

Recently, a public university customer was faced with a big security decision. Their existing CCTV recording servers were approaching end of life, and the team had to determine the best way forward. They could continue investing in aging on-premise servers or take the opportunity to move to a modern, cloud-based solution that would improve reliability and expand their capabilities. 

Our team worked closely with the university to evaluate both paths. We helped to outline the pros, cons, and costs of each option. After careful consideration, they chose to transition their entire camera network, more than 600 devices across the university campus, to a hybrid-cloud platform designed to deliver advanced analytics and easier system management. 

The results were immediate and transformative. By making the switch, the university: 

  • Improved campus safety, with new tools already helping to solve incidents of theft and vandalism. 
  • Decommissioned on-premise servers, reducing maintenance and energy costs. 
  • Gained access to AI-driven analytics, including people detection and smart search tools that help enhance situational awareness. 
  • Secured cloud archiving with 30-day retention, giving staff greater flexibility and data protection. 
  • Received a 10-year hardware warranty at no additional cost, simplifying long-term budgeting and support. 

 

This transition didn’t just replace old technology, it redefined how the university approaches security and preparedness. The new infrastructure provides a foundation for future integrations like access control and intercom systems, ensuring their investment continues to pay off for years to come. 

At SCW, we understand that every technology decision has real-world implications. That’s why we partner with organizations to deliver solutions that meet today’s needs and anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. 

Because when the stakes are high, having a trusted partner like SCW makes all the difference.

Solving Urgent Technology Gaps for Schools

Every day, our customers face real challenges that impact their students, teachers, administration and the community. At SCW, we’re proud to be the partner school districts count on when it matters most. 

For school districts throughout the country, timing is everything. The new fiscal year begins July 1, but classes often resume just weeks later in August or September,  leaving a narrow window for planning, purchasing, and deploying technology. It’s a tight schedule that demands speed, foresight, and flawless coordination. 

One school district in the summer of 2025 reached out needing dozens of laptops and Chromebooks delivered, configured, and ready for students before the first bell of the new school year. With the clock ticking and budgets tied to fiscal-year timelines, every day mattered. 

Our team moved quickly, leveraging existing vendor relationships, securing in-stock equipment, and preparing all devices for classroom use. We coordinated delivery, setup, and imaging so that when teachers and students returned, everything was ready to go. 

But this story goes beyond logistics. It underscores the value of having a trusted partner who knows your needs in advance, one who can anticipate demand, prepare inventory, and offer flexible invoicing terms to align with fiscal-year constraints. By planning ahead and maintaining open communication, we help our education partners focus on what truly matters: students learning and keeping their schools safe. 

At SCW, we understand that in education, every moment counts. That’s why we’re committed to helping schools make the most of limited time and resources while ensuring technology never becomes the reason learning slows down.
