In this episode, Nash County Public Schools’ CTO Tremaine McQueen and Senior Network Engineer J.R. Williams discuss how they evaluated, selected, and rolled out a new remote support platform from BeyondTrust to serve over 3,000 endpoints across 24 schools. They highlight the district’s constraints—tight budgets, a one‑to‑one Chromebook program, and the need for technicians to work without teacher intervention—while emphasizing must‑have features like concurrent licensing, intuitive device search by username or serial number, and robust reporting. The conversation also covers how a state‑mandated rollout of CrowdStrike prompted a re‑assessment of their existing tool (Exidian) and led to a cost‑effective, scalable solution that improved response times during critical periods such as test days. Their experience provides a practical playbook for K‑12 and government IT teams looking to modernize remote support.
