Get the technology that transforms learning
EES provides a great opportunity to provide your campus with technology that makes a real difference to learning and helps you progress towards a 21st century learning environment.
Have you connected your campus yet?
Leverage your Microsoft licence to create a secure, well-managed communication and collaboration platform for students and staff. Microsoft’s integrated technology architecture provides solutions that work together seamlessly to connect multiple campuses. These include secure communications, simple on-line collaboration and intuitive sharing of educational materials, letting you deliver more flexible learning options to students on and off campus.
Do students and staff have access to the latest learning technologies?
Give staff and students the latest collaboration tools at their fingertips, and the freedom to learn, share and collaborate wherever they choose. With Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES), staff are covered to use licensed software on their own computers at no additional cost through Work At Home (WAH) rights. You can also add on affordable licensing through EES for student-owned laptops.
How efficient is your IT?
Using products licensed through EES are affordable, you can optimise and consolidate your IT plus improve the way you manage it. For example, with Windows Server® 2012 R2 and Microsoft® System Center you can evolve toward a data centre environment that supports self-managing, user-centric, dynamic systems. Or use Microsoft hosted services for data storage, applications and updates to reduce cost. Or improve security, federation and governance with the Windows Optimized Desktop creating an optimal learning environment for all students.
Are you ready for high performance computing?
Give your analysts, engineers and scientists the computation resources they need for fast, efficient research and development. Instead of investing in supercomputing hardware, you can create a cluster using off-the-shelf servers, all managed by Windows® HPC Server 2012 R2, a useful adjunct to your EES licence.
