Education

Pacific Computers have been working with the education sector since we began more than 10 years ago, and have seen the transformation in this area of IT. We are well-placed to deal with all of the challenges the ICT Manager faces, from getting reliable equipment for ICT suites to AV integration with Smartboards and Projectors, via CCTV, network infrastructure and even video-on-demand content distribution.

The modern ICT manager has more to deal with now – the networks are large and encompass many buildings, the teaching staff have internal IT requirements, and any fault is critical to making the most of a short lesson window. Pacific work with the leading names to ensure reliability, like HP, Dell, NEC and Fujitsu for IT equipment, Epson, NEC, and Optoma for projectors, Smart for presentation systems etc. Everything is backed up by our friendly and professional service team, and we have many arrangements within schools where we have developed rolling spare systems to address the critical nature of faults – highlighting Pacific’s teamwork approach with our clients.

In addition, Pacific’s highly individual portfolio can help education providers realise unusual solutions that help set them apart in an increasingly competitive marketplace. For example, we have installed IT-enabled music rooms that allow the teacher to wirelessly listen to and record all of the class as they play and compose music on Apple hardware. In another school, we have installed a managed wireless network that allows students to take laptops around the site, constantly connected, giving them access to new and stimulating learning environments.

Recent Education Success Stories include:

• Apple-based Music Rooms in collaboration with PacificWave, our AV division
• IP CCTV installation at a South London School
• ICT suite hardware provision and set-up during a school break
