Did your school procure new devices with Covid relief funding? Many of the schools Sterling works with have done so, and unfortunately it’s shaping up to be a problem. Over and over, schools are experiencing these common concerns:
“We’re missing units.”
“We don’t have enough time to do everything that needs to be done.”
“We need these devices to last 4-5 years.”
These concerns can be prevented with the help of Sterling’s thoroughly trained certified technicians who are able to service devices from all major manufacturers. Your institute will be able to put the focus back on your students, guaranteeing that they are getting the most out of their education.
According to the Consortium for School Networking’s 2021 EdTech Leadership Survey, in 2021 “49% of districts are supporting more than 7,500 devices. This is up from 2020, when only 33% of districts managed that many devices.” This increase is making it almost impossible for schools to keep up with management demands and other technology-related issues. And when needed repairs and refreshes aren’t occurring, the likelihood of students not having access to working units grows exponentially, not to mention the serviceable life of the equipment itself decreases significantly.
Sterling’s Depot Repair Services can help schools avoid these problems and maintain optimal device performance and efficiency.
