Outdated business technology can lead to children being lost in this competitive environment. Or, at least never having the opportunity to reach one’s full potential. It’s a global, competitive marketplace now. It’s more important than ever that our youth are well-educated and prepared to resolve and overcome the great hurdles of the 21st century. When you work with the professional business technology providers at Van Ausdall & Farrar, we can provide the newest technology – including solutions for information management, print, communication, and business processes – to streamline your school or university’s technology to securely, reliably and cost effectively improve student outcomes. Contact Van Ausdall & Farrar to learn more about the solutions we can offer your educational facility. Business Technology Solutions for the Education Sector Van Ausdall & Farrar can develop a tailored business solution for all types of educational institutions, including public and private schools. Some of our offerings include: INFORMATION SOLUTIONS Schools and universities deal with a ton of information on a daily basis. Finding an effective information management solution is key to creating, managing, and delivering data from beginning to end. The experts at Van Ausdall & Farrar have developed and implemented many successful information management strategies for educational facilities across Indiana. One of the best ways to improve information is with a cloud-based solution. The cloud allows businesses and schools to effectively store information and place technology around your data.

Having Van Ausdall & Farrar implement cloud solutions for your educational facility will increase storage space, improve business continuity and save time and money.

Noblesville (IN) Schools, for example, had too many print leases and vendors, so they came to us to find a way to simplify contracts and lower costs. Van Ausdall & Farrar eliminated unnecessary equipment and processes and brought in lower cost, better quality printers. We also implemented Copy/Print Management and Print Application to restructure all printing and copy systems that were currently in place. The result: the new system helped reduce Noblesville Schools’ spending by over 50% on printing services. This is just one example of how Van Ausdall & Farrar can assist your school district.
