Why Choose Advanced Education?

Education Partner in Technology for the Classroom vs. Traditional Audio Visual Supplier - what is your choice?

“Major classroom technology implementations involve hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions of dollars. The right partner will understand the importance of not only coming in under budget and transparency of costs but also be positioned to respond quickly to any questions that arise.”

After 1000’s of Rollouts & Installations, Advanced Education is proud to be an Education Partner in technology for the Classroom and continues its ongoing working partnerships with the best school districts & educational institutions in Ontario (50 districts).

What sets us apart from your conventional supplier is our willingness to meet your high standards. We know exactly the complex logistics involved with any new technology deployment, especially in a school, because Advanced Education deals exclusively with school districts & educational institutions.

Administrators & Senior Faculty everywhere are accountable to their superiors. Suppliers must actually deliver what was promised and that the technology must work as promised. If it does not, it will not matter to a traditional audio visual supplier that there are 40 kids without a functioning class.

Look for Experience

Experience means partnering with a district to help specify and select the best product to meet their teaching and budgetary needs and then being able to provide after sales support as needed.

When it comes to implementing Smartboards and Document Cameras (which impact lesson planning and teaching practice), Advanced Education has actual teachers on staff who have spent an excess of 20 years in the classroom and will be well positioned to make recommendations in this area. Their knowledge and contribution will add value to the planning stages of an implementation.

Even after the choice of technology products has been made & your organization is deciding how to best allocate funding, have you thought about:

This is what sets your true Educational Partner apart from a traditional AV supplier. Choosing the right partner is arguably the most important decision an administrator will make when considering a technology implementation.

The Price choice:
Value Added Technology Partner versus Traditional Supplier.

"Why going with cheapest supplier price is probably not the best choice for your organization & will actually cost you more."

Total Cost of Ownership is not often factored. The true cost to your organization cannot be measured by installation alone, but by the entire life-cycle of your purchase. It may be possible to get a better price. However, just because they deliver the product to the door, it does not mean the product won’t break or fail to work. Don’t be the one they blame after you explain why you purchased an oversized paperweight on the classroom wall.


"We make it easier for you to get government funding"

Given the many restrictions / checks and balances in place tied to government funding, it’s clear that choosing a true Value Added Technology Partner like Advanced Education will give you the best odds of success in the long term.


The impossible deadline – a true Advanced Education story

“It was decided in August 2008 that 50 school districts would finally make the transition to SMART technology. They required 2000 Smartboards, including SB680’s on mobile floor stands as well as a large volume of SB680’s, ready to deploy for the new school year.

There were only 4 weeks to install and follow up - hundreds of class room setups and installations. With military precision Advanced Education made special arrangements with SMART production and warehouse management, allowing for lightning fast shipments on the production side. Arrangements were also made for afterhours access of schools and institutions for installation.

Advanced put in the overtime, as well as making sure every special expedited rush delivery arrived safely; so key deadlines could be met and prevent any delays.

SMART technology infrastructure was seamlessly implemented on a massive scale. It was also Advanced’s responsibility to make sure every teacher and administrator was trained. The Educational Consultants were ready to move and got the training done on time. Advanced insured every participant was ready and fully trained for September.

When the students arrived it was as if the SMART Technology had always been there.”



"With Advanced Education as your Value Added Technology Partner it means that our implementation is not only successful at time of delivery but also for years to come, a true peace of mind."
