What we hear from school IT teams
Devices go home with students. Not all of them come back.
Laptops are a big investment
"…that was a big financial commitment, we wanted to protect our investment a little bit."
Loaners that don't come back
"We had an issue with tracking assets, and sometimes devices being stolen or not returned… We also do a loaner program on assets."
Staff leave, devices leave too
"Someone left the company and took the laptop with them."
From the first day of school to end-of-year collection
