Why Schools Need K-12 Device Lifecycle Management

FTG International Team

In today's digital classrooms, technology is essential for learning, but managing devices like Chromebooks and laptops can be overwhelming. Schools face challenges such as budget constraints, rapid device obsolescence, frequent repairs, and secure data disposal. Without proper lifecycle management, these issues lead to increased costs, disrupted lessons, and security risks.When a missing circuit board or busted Chromebook brings everything to a halt, you need more than a vendor—you need a true problem-solver!

FTG International's K-12 device lifecycle management addresses these pain points by providing end-to-end support. We help districts standardize devices, streamline deployments, and extend device longevity—potentially saving up to 30% on maintenance and procurement.
