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.
