Working with you Towards Success

At Microsoft we’re deeply committed to the aims of BSF, and passionate about ICT’s role in transforming education.

Creating a Vision of Learning

Transforming learning is the ultimate aim of BSF. But what does transformed learning look like? Microsoft can help schools and local authorities create a clear vision of the future of learning, with a range of resources, processes and guidance that will support the successful implementation of your BSF programme.

Our guidance addresses three key areas:

• Educational scenarios: models and practical examples to show how technology can support improved educational outcomes
• Business value: a rigorous process for scrutinising investments to ensure they lead to your intended objectives
• Technology guidance: a solution for the development, deployment, support and management of a secure technology infrastructure

Why Microsoft?

Unrivalled Partnerships

Microsoft has strong partnerships with leading companies who are focused on supporting your success. We’re involved with multiple bidding consortia, all bringing innovation and value, but with the reliability and integration levels that Microsoft technologies allow.

Choice of Approaches

With a vast range of devices, services and third-party technologies, you’ll never be tied down to a ‘one size fits all’ approach. For example, our technologies enable a true mixed economy of devices, where tablet PCs, desktop PCs, rich clients and thin clients, PDAs and Smartphones can all operate side by side, and be used to access learning resources.

Scalable Learning Platforms

Our vision of the school of the future has a dynamic learning environment, providing clear integration and management of your content, digital portfolios, management information, communications, finance & HR systems, timetables, and many other functions.
