As more learning environments and education institutes become hybrid settings and embrace digital transformation, schools, academies, colleges, and universities must find modern ways to support and encourage every individual to succeed.
But with so many unique needs, ways of working, and a variety of subjects and courses, how do you ensure that you are making the right investments that will benefit your students, faculty, and staff and improve productivity?

We supported City College Peterborough to roll out its digital strategy to empower staff and students with a modern working environment.
After undergoing our Customer Immersion Experience (CIE) – which utilised Microsoft Surface devices – the college trailed of an initial roll out of 50 Surface Go devices. The results for its learners were overwhelming, leading to further deployments of Surface Go for students and Surface Pro for staff across the college.
The adoption of Microsoft Surface devices has enabled the college to digitally transform, saving both print and paper costs, as well as time. So far, the college has reported cost savings of around 48% and a 38% reduction in paper usage.
Using Microsoft Surface devices means that learning can become accessible anywhere within the building. If you’ve got a learner that’s in crisis and they’re doing some work on a desktop, when they leave the classroom, that learning and what they have been engaging with has to stop. So, by investing in Surface Pros, every learner at any time, no matter where they are in this building, can access their virtual learning environment.
