DUNSTABLE, ENGLAND, February 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Futuresource analysts attended BETT 2012 checking out what's new and what's hot across the use of technology in education, and compiled a report highlighting the key themes and trends entering the marketplace in 2012 and beyond. This report is now available for free download.
Here's a snapshot of what they found:
* The IT infrastructure 'backbone' is developing both in sophistication and penetration.
* Hardware suppliers are developing links with content companies and owners as they seek to develop a more 'end to end' education solution.
* With personal devices becoming popular within education, suppliers are seeking to develop software solutions that allow easy collaboration and interaction between them and the main display devices.
* Cloud computing continues to rapidly gain popularity in the education sector.
* From a PC perspective, product differentiation remains limited. Most vendors are differentiating their offerings based on service and support teams and software solutions.
* With much greater awareness among end users of the potential benefits of managed services, many suppliers and resellers are offering hardware leasing solutions.
