Dell is partnering with colleges and universities to create a digital learning environment to empower the students and faculty with the tools required to face the challenges of the 21st-century workforce.
The demands on IT are growing more complex as colleges and universities provide students with access to learning anytime, anywhere and on any device. Dell is offering comprehensive solutions to address the IT needs of higher-education institutions.
IT needs of college or university are incredibly diverse depending on their academic goals, student body and campus infrastructure, but what is consistent across all of higher education is the imperative to graduate students ready for the workforce, Dell said.
