Education

Some of our Education customers have been with us since the beginning.

And they come back to us year after year for our comprehensive knowledge of the sector and our ability to deliver technology solutions that inspire better student outcomes.

We help universities, colleges and schools unlock new ways to teach and learn with affordable IT that doesn’t compromise on quality and performance.

As lines between the digital and physical classroom blur, we enable educators to leverage the power of technology to create meaningful outcomes for every student. All whilst delivering a better, more sustainable user experience for education leaders and colleagues.

Our partners, HP and HPE, have been recognised for having developed some of the world’s most secure devices whilst retaining a position as sustainable and socially responsible manufacturers. And together, we are cost conscious.

Cloud-First strategies have stalled for many public sector organisations.

Digital transformation in the public sector is more important than ever. However, the path to the ‘public sector of the future’ has been long, and somewhat turbulent.

Organisations have experienced significant challenges with applications and data that were simply not suitable to migrate, with many finding themselves, ‘Unconsciously Hybrid’ – an unplanned state of flux between public cloud, edge, and on-premises infrastructure. DTP and HPE are helping Public Sector organisations take conscious steps to a better digital future – For the Good.

CASE STUDIES

WHY OUR CUSTOMERS CHOOSE DTP

The new pull print features helps prevent wasted and abandoned prints. The University estimates the pull print feature alone will save us more than one million sheets of A4 paper per year and we’re expecting to take £200,000 per annum off operating costs when the deployment finishes. DTP was able to implement both projects within established budgets and timescales, and to a standard that exceeds the expectations of the University of Hull and its users. The network components have added additional security, redundancy and reliability to the university’s infrastructure, while the MPS continues to deliver new functionality and predicted cost savings. I would recommend DTP. It’s been a partnership approach which has delivered to both the University’s and DTP’s requirements.
IT Director, University of Hull
Manufacturers on the framework agreements all make high quality equipment these days so it is the level of service received that makes a contract work; the processes at the back-end can make or break it. DTP has proven to be very flexible and they have got to know how we operate in this respect. With DTP I feel our comments are taken seriously which is important. Importantly with DTP, we’re not anonymous to them.
Head of Infrastructure, University of Liverpool
Every application at the university depends on our storage infrastructure, so we need guaranteed uptime. The project itself was very challenging, particularly given the complexity, tight timescales and requirement to maintain fully operational during the migration. However the level of commitment, technical expertise and professionalism shown by DTP was excellent throughout. Particularly pleasing was the way DTP and the University worked together as one team. This is exactly the kind of relationship we were seeking when we selected DTP as our preferred supplier. DTP are an excellent partner who went the extra mile on several occasions to ensure the University received a first class service.
Assistant Director of IT, Liverpool John Moores University
Other resellers tried to oversell the solution, however DTP didn’t baffle us with terms we didn’t understand. It was clear they understood the products and the solution required, and they made things simple. What used to be a half-day job to get a server up and running, is now a job that takes minutes. We are also confident we will save money on our energy bills.
Computer Services Manager, Derwentside College
DTP needed to ensure that the correct delivery was made to each campus at the right time as there were slight variations in the product configurations for different departments. Our on-site lead was brilliant. He just kept checking that what we decided was definitely what we wanted and kept in contact over the roll-out so if anything went amiss he knew about it and was already fixing it. Yes, I would recommend DTP. Out of everyone I have worked with at DTP nothing was too much trouble. The roll-out went so well because anything that could have gone wrong had been foreseen and was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
IT Technician, University of Derby
As an organisation, we now have a better understanding of our print requirements and so we can build up a profile which enables us to audit usage and refine the deployment. Implementing this new system with HP MFP devices has improved the print service we offer to students with lots of additional benefits. In a recent print survey, student satisfaction had risen by 15%, a great reason to choose a print service from DTP.
