There are many policies and procedures that are put into place within Omagh College to help attain computer maintenance. Some of these policies would include:
  • Acceptable Use Policy - This is put into action as soon as any student tries to log into a computer, it is in place to make sure that the student does not do anything unacceptable or illegal, such as downloading illegal software or files, or looking at anythiing that is not relevant to the task they are working on. And when the student clicks the 'ok' button they are agreeing to the terms of this policy before they can log on.

  • Vision client - This is a program(or piece of software) that is installed onto all members' of staff computers' and they then have the choice to run this program during class. this program is designed to monitor all of the students in the class' computers and the member of staff can then look at any of their students' computers to see what they are doing and can also block them out of their computer if they are doing something they aren't supposed to be doing.

  • Desktop Authority - This allows IT Technicians to secure, manage and support desktops from the technician room . Desktop Authority also offers Remote Management, and optional Spyware Removal and Patch Management features.
