When it comes to technology procurement for schools, the process can be daunting. With so many vendors and products available, it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s where our vendor-agnostic technology procurement service comes in.

Vendor-agnostic technology procurement is the process of evaluating and selecting technology solutions based on their ability to meet the needs of the school, rather than being swayed by a specific vendor or brand. This approach allows us to select the technology that is best suited to your unique needs, rather than simply going with what a vendor is pushing.

There are a number of benefits to vendor-agnostic technology procurement. First and foremost, it allows us to choose the best technology solutions for your specific needs. This means that you can avoid being locked into a single vendor and can instead select products from a variety of different companies.

Another benefit of vendor-agnostic technology procurement is that it can help you save schools money. By evaluating different products and vendors, we can identify the most cost-effective solutions for your needs. This can help you stretch your budget further and ensure that you are getting the most for your money.

We can provide a range of services to help schools with their tech procurement and vendor management, including:

Product evaluation

We provide schools with unbiased evaluations of different technology products and vendors, based on their ability to meet the school’s unique needs.
