About TechPilot Labs: TechPilot Labs began with a simple idea:  managing mobile devices in schools should be simple, and should allow teachers to have a level of control in the classroom while still giving the IT department the management they need.The existing market was comprised mostly of MDM systems that were designed for use by IT professionals at large enterprise organizations, filled with features that were not needed by schools, lacking a user-friendly interface, and also missing classroom management features for teachers.  These products were clearly not the right fit for schools, so the idea for TechPilot was born!
