IT leaders face the daunting challenge of managing tighter budgets while ensuring that technology remains effective and efficient. With the increasing reliance on digital devices for learning, the need to maximize the lifespan and utility of these devices has never been more important.
“How Do I Make Our Budget Go Further?”
As K-12 schools grapple with budget cuts and spending freezes, IT leaders are under pressure to stretch their financial resources.
This fiscal challenge boils down to two key questions:
- How do I allocate funds across a growing number of classroom technology devices and services?How do I ensure that each device lasts longer and operates at peak efficiency?
Without proper visibility into device usage and health, inefficiencies can quickly accumulate. Devices may be underutilized, lost, or even forgotten in storage–leading to unnecessary replacements and wasted funds. This situation creates a cycle of financial strain, where the lack of visibility into device management feeds into further budgetary challenges.
