IT Technologies and Print Solutions for Education

Education supported by IT technologies is an essential element in ensuring students become digitally literate and competitive in their future careers in modern workplaces. With blended learning the ‘new normal’ and with teachers embracing technology at a record rate the digital learning landscape is set to see exciting new trends.

However, typical education infrastructure is under financial pressures to reduce waste and ensure budgets stretch to cater to the demands of students and teachers. Toshiba solutions help achieve these objectives while responding to the changing way that staff and students are using technology in education, from using mobile devices to changing print requirements.

Printing, copying and managing documents have become major issues, driven by constantly changing curriculum demands, differentiation of materials to meet student needs and creation of extensive student records, to name but a few! All of which have a huge impact on staff time, communication systems and structures, financial and physical resources. Add into this the digital shift following the pandemic creating at home and blended learning, means technology and print solutions need to be adaptable to change, efficient and cost-effective.

Recognising every education setting is different, and approaching each project with no preconceptions. We look at your costs associated with IT, from desktop devices through to reprographic environments, identifying pain points and how productivity can be improved.

Additionally, with an expert understanding of educational environments, we will work with you to address your challenges and introduce positive change.
