At Computeam we are passionate about providing good value to our client schools, especially when it comes to technology. Budgetary pressures and compliance demands are constantly making it harder for schools to access great technology and this is having a negative effect on both staff and students. It can often be difficult to find secure and affordable options that meet the demands of schools.
Microsoft's announcement they will be ending support for Windows 7 in January 2020 is adding to this pressure.
Google's new offer for schools could be the answer!
This bundle includes both Cloud Ready and Chrome Device Management.
CloudReady operating systems allow you to transform your old computers into fast and secure machines. Based on the same Technology as Google's Chrome operating system it is a cost effective way to bring your old computers back to life. At the same time Chrome Device Management allows you to manage all your devices simultaneously while being able to customise device settings in line with school policies and lock down devices for exams.
This solution could breathe new life into your old devices from only £15 per year!
What's the verdict?
Google for Education is a platform for education establishments to be excited about, and this is no exception.
A case study from The Connaught School for Girls shows how they went from having only 4 devices booked over the course of an academic year to a whopping 21 out of 25 periods a week.
The Lilian Baylis Technology School has also extended the life of over 200 computers by 2 years.
This option provides a cost effective and viable solution for schools faced with Windows 7 end of life this school year!
