Digital research and education with Cisco.
Digitalisation is both opening new doors and presenting all new challenges for schools, universities and research institutions as research and education in Germany is characterised by great diversity and heterogeneity – a fact that is reflected in IT infrastructures and organisational structures. However, users’ demands and expectations are growing and their increasingly digital toolkits must be able to communicate with each other in a secure way. Bechtle and Cisco smooth the way to the digital transformation, opening the door to new possibilities.

Benefits of digital research and education.
Simple management.
Virtual classrooms.
Digital curriculum.
Real-time data analysis.
Connected processes.
Highest cyber security standards.
Flexible campus networking.
Advancing digitalisation requires sophisticated and powerful networks that can easily connect thousands of people and devices, no matter if they are wired or wireless, spanning sites or extending into the internet. The network is fundamental to making new digital concepts a reality. How? A unified dashboard offers transparency and control of the entire network, no matter its size. New hardware can be quickly and easily deployed and consistent monitoring means you always know what’s happening in your network. Once the foundations have been laid, you’re en route to next-generation projects such as smart car parks, smart energy management, etc. Get in touch.
The digital classroom.
Education is changing. Digital tools such as tablets and digital whiteboards have become commonplace in the classroom and significantly boost collaboration. The current situation sees schools and universities confronted with the challenge of making the switch to new, digital learning environments such as messenger services and video calls and creating a digital classroom experience. Schools are under pressure to make the move towards digitalisation in order to bring the benefits of the digital transformation
Digital platforms.
Digital platforms are becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of digitalisation, giving research and education institutions in Germany considerable opportunities for strategic development. New opportunities to cooperate with other institutions become possible, costs and processes are optimised and new comprehensive databases and teaching platforms are created—the possibilities are endless! Cisco’s modern, scalable data centre solutions make the creation of these digital platforms possible and enable applications to be run in the best possible way.
IT security for research and teaching.
Security is critical in research and education as personal data simply has to be protected meaning that IT security has to be front and centre of every digitalisation project. Only when effective measures are implemented and a multi-layer cyber security concept is in place can the digital transformation be a success. Bechtle and Cisco have developed a cyber security concept specifically for schools, universities and research institutes to raise security in these areas to a new level.

Zu den einschneidendsten Ereignissen bei der Bekämpfung der Corona-Pandemie zählt die angeordnete Schließung der Schulen bis zunächst Ende der Osterferien. Die abrupte Unterbrechung des Präsenzunterrichts stellt zahlreiche Schulen vor große Herausforderungen – selbst Bildungseinrichtungen, die wie das LÖWENROT-Gymnasium in St. Leon-Rot in puncto digitale Strategie bereits ihre Hausaufgaben gemacht hatten. Die Einführung von Cisco Webex als Videokonferenztechnologie gibt der Privatschule die nötige Flexibilität, um unter außergewöhnlichen Umständen schnell in die virtuelle Unterrichtsgestaltung einsteigen zu können.
