WE GET GIVING YOUR TEAM THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED.
For solutions that make operating and managing your Google Workspace easier, you need Google and IT Orchestration by CDW Education.
Education technology has transformed the way we access, share and engage with knowledge in the classroom. As schools bolster their fleets of devices and portfolios of digital teaching and learning tools, we are observing an increase in effective communication, innovative collaboration and academic performance. However, we also see IT departments being stretched thin to handle the influx of hardware setups, software updates, network errors, domain projects and support tickets.
CDW is committed to helping schools get the most out of Google Workspace for Education by maximizing the capabilities of its powerful features. This means making it easier for your technical staff to operate and manage your school’s unique and complex domain. To ensure your IT department has the necessary capacity and proficiency, we provide:
Tools That Align Technology With Instruction.
If your IT department doesn’t have the capacity to promptly address all incoming support tickets, eliminate a portion of them by giving teachers more control over their digital workflows with Little SIS Premium:
- Synchronizes student information system (SIS) rosters and classes in Google Classroom to automate the tediously manual process for teachers
- Gives teachers administrative control over approving, declining, linking, and merging their classes so your technical staff don’t have to
A Library of Resources for Changes and Updates.
Instead of having to spend time scouring the internet to keep up with Google for Education’s 250-400 annual changes and updates, your technical staff can shift their expended energy to other priorities with the Google Technical Collaborative:
- Connects your team to a library of resources for your Google Workspace domain
- Enables technical staff to navigate domain challenges, find solutions, and share them through the online discussion forum, monthly live stream events, and on-demand content

Automated and Bulk Capabilities for Domain Management.
Technical staff can automate the processes and procedures that are still manual and must be completed individually with the Gopher Pack which includes:
- Gopher for Chrome Premium automates OS, asset ID’s, usernames, and settings updates for fleets of Chromebooks
- Gopher for Users allows the management of users in the Admin console, reset and distribution of passwords, suspension and reactivation of accounts, and update of user information to be completed in bulk
- Gopher for Groups delegates access permissions for joining and posting in Groups at scale
On-Demand and Outcome-Based Technical Support.
As Google Workspace for Education consistently makes improvements to applications and releases new features, your technical staff may need to make changes in your school’s Admin console that are beyond their proficiency, but they can rely on the expertise of CDW Education through Amplified Support for Google for Education:
- Partners your team with our Google IT Specialists who help them make the right decisions for your domain
- Provides 1:1 outcome-based support sessions and tailored recommendations for the Admin console settings, Chrome devices, training, and more
Your technical staff can also take advantage of Support Stacks to complete infrastructural projects with direct guidance from Google IT Specialists.

- Sharpens skills on key and complex settings, proactive security features, EDU best practices, Chrome management, and more
