Apple technology lets you reduce tactical challenges and make a key contribution to the way learning happens. Since deployment, management and maintenance take less time and effort, you can focus squarely on empowering educators and students. Apple makes that easy too, with innovations for digital content creation, virtual collaboration and mobile learning that let you advance your institution's mission. And everything will work with your existing network and assets, right out of the box. The Mac also runs Windows (sold separately) natively if you need it to. So now there's nothing to hold you back.

Fundamental to our Software+Services approach is the idea that customers are empowered with a complete set of options to ideally address their needs. We firmly believe that the magic of software should not be constrained to a particular delivery model. The Software+Services approach ensures that you don't need to choose between a rich client and a browser application that lives only in the cloud. You can have either or both. Education customers can have secure, reliable and scalable solutions that work across and combine software (On Premises or Partner Hosted) and services (Microsoft Online Services or Live@edu) - optimizing a consistent end-user experience via the web, mobile, or rich client.
