DaaS: 4 Ways it
Helps Educators Adapt to Change
Digital transformation is making its way to the head of today’s
classrooms, with notebooks, tablets, and smartphones replacing paper, pens, and
textbooks as the new tools of the learning trade. Why the change? Digital
technology levels the educational playing field, customizing curriculums and
removing barriers to education.
IDC reports that education leaders are shifting their
focus from reducing costs to embracing technology for competitive advantage and
modernizing curriculums with applications like analytics and adaptive learning.
Additionally, 59% of higher education CIOs expect digital transformation to change business models.
To prepare for digital change, more educators are turning to device-as-a-service
(DaaS) solutions to meet these new expectations. Here are the four ways DaaS helps
educators adapt to change:
1. Curriculum
Changes
DaaS helps schools replace legacy hardware with
upgraded technology like portable notebook PCs, such as the HP ProBook x360 11
G2, powered by the Intel® Core™ i5 processor. It’s designed for
collaborative learning, with flexible form factors that are preloaded with the Windows
10 operating system to support modern application demand, as well as built-in
security to protect users from persistent threats.
2. Resource
Changes
With technology comes the need for IT management. DaaS makes it possible
for schools to offload PC management to a service provider that can remotely
access device analytics to identify and fix technical problems and apply
required security patches. For instance, a problem causing downtime in a
student’s PC can be detected and repaired before it impacts productivity.
3. Financial
Changes
DaaS brings school IT costs down with a consumption-based pricing model
that can be scaled as needs change. Schools pay only for the technology they
need, when they need it, with no large, fixed capital expense. Not only is DaaS
affordable, but it helps schools keep up with rapid technology changes that
occur with digital transformation.
4. Security
Changes
Education is the new target for ransomware and malware threats, due in
part to the financial and identity data stored on school networks, and also to
a perceived lack of network security. DaaS ensures that schools are outfitted
with devices updated with the latest security policies and protections to
safeguard teacher and student collaboration with less impact on IT staff.
