SkieIs there a trial or pilot for Skie?
Pilots can be arranged. The usual approach is a small pilot with a handful of devices and one group, run for a few weeks on your own Wi-Fi, so you test provisioning, app lists, the filter, location, lost mode and a replacement before committing. Ask the team to set one up.
A pilot is the best way to decide, and the team arranges them on request. The terms, such as how many devices and for how long, are agreed with you. There is no public trial form with set numbers, so ask for the pilot as part of your first conversation.
A good pilot is small and real. Choose one group, a handful of devices, and the devices you will actually use. Provision them with the Provision app or the laptop route and apply a policy you would be happy to use. Test the filter on your own network, because that is where surprises come from.
Give the pilot a purpose. Decide in advance what you are checking: that setup works on your models, that app lists fit your teaching, that location and lost mode behave as you expect, and that staff find the dashboard usable. Agree what a good result looks like before you start.
End it with a decision. Review the pilot together: what worked, what you would change, what the students said and what the cost would be at full size. The numbers for a full rollout come from the quote, and the pilot tells you how much help you will need.
A practical tip: tell families about the pilot and put a teacher on the team. Real classroom use finds problems that an IT check misses, such as an app a lesson depends on or a site a project needs.
