Microsoft

New Era IT is proud to be a “Gold Partner” of Microsoft New Zealand.

Microsoft is committed to helping educators and students seize the opportunities that technology affords in order to make the vision of 21st century learning a reality.

Microsoft's vision focuses on equitable access to 21st century tools, student-centric, individualised learning, ongoing professional development for educators and, above all, greater flexibility in how, where and when we learn.

Worldwide, Microsoft is devoting US$253 million to support improvements in access to, and use of, information and communication technology in education initiatives. In New Zealand, Microsoft is committing approximately NZ$2 million in cash and resources over the next five years. Through a series of local programmes, Microsoft seeks to help recognise the educational value of technology in schools, reward outstanding teachers as well as provide professional development to teachers who act as technology and educational change agents at their schools.

For New Era IT and our client schools, Gold Partner status with Microsoft means:

• Our clients have access to a raft of MS Solution Sets, appropriate to the education market
• Extensive in-house testing of solutions before deployment into the school market
• Cognisance of MS’s road map forward which better enables NEIT to prepare schools for future developments and paradigm shifts.
