IT Services for Colleges and Universities

Managed IT, cybersecurity, business phones, and internet for community colleges, private colleges, and universities. We back up your IT team, protect student and research data, and keep every building on campus connected.

A Campus Runs on Its Network

Registration, learning platforms, residence hall Wi-Fi, research data, athletics, and a help desk students expect to answer at midnight. Even colleges with a strong IT department run short on hands during move-in, finals, and every new system rollout. ALLO Business works alongside your team, taking on help desk coverage, security monitoring, and the projects that keep slipping, or handles IT completely for smaller campuses.

The first week of classes, registration, and finals are when systems can’t go down and the help desk fills up. ALLO Business watches your network around the clock, keeps patches and backups current, and gives students, faculty, and staff one help desk to call. Your team stays in charge of campus IT and gets a partner for the work that doesn’t fit in the week.

What ALLO Business Handles for Colleges and Universities

Managed IT specialist consulting with a business

Managed IT and Help Desk

Help desk coverage for students, faculty, and staff, plus monitoring, patching, and backups for servers and the network. We support the student information system, learning management system, and campus apps you already run, and we work alongside your IT team instead of replacing it. Semester startups, new faculty accounts, and lab and classroom computer issues are handled for you, and when something breaks, your staff call ALLO directly instead of a third party. A flat monthly cost also makes IT easier to plan around a fiscal-year budget.

Cybersecurity and ransomware protection for business systems

Cybersecurity and Ransomware Protection

Colleges hold student records, financial aid information, and research that attackers want. We put next-generation firewalls, endpoint protection, email filtering, and multifactor authentication in place, and we watch for threats around the clock.

Business professional using ALLO business voice

Business Phones and ALLO Intelligence

ALLO Business Voice gives admissions, the registrar, financial aid, and every department their own lines and extensions, with calls that can follow staff to a laptop or cell. Add ALLO Intelligence, our AI agent for business phones, and calls are answered 24/7, including the rush around registration and application deadlines. It handles routine questions about deadlines, office hours, and campus services, and routes everything else to the right office. It speaks seven languages and can switch mid-call, so students and families get answers in the language they’re most comfortable with.

Reliable business internet and fiber connectivity

Business Internet and Fiber

High-capacity connections for classrooms, labs, and residence halls, with dedicated fiber where it’s available. Each building gets a connection sized to how it’s used, from an admissions office to a residence hall full of students streaming at night. Add a backup circuit so online classes and campus systems stay up if the main line goes down. On ALLO fiber, we can link campus buildings on a private network so departments share systems without touching the public internet. Internet, phones, and IT all come from one provider, with one number to call.
