Discover the next degree of educational transformation

The digital transformation of education has created a unique opportunity for customers to adopt new technologies, but capital for technology investments such as network improvements and new AI technology is harder to come by. So how can you maximize core infrastructure as the foundation for modernizing and securing your data estate, improving efficiencies, and adding AI and other emerging technologies without breaking the budget? Our partners have solutions.

Discover how Microsoft partners can help your institution reduce operational costs while maximizing your tech infrastructure. Explore this directory to see how they can provide intuitive, collaborative, and extensible applications, network enhancements, and low-code tools that can have positive effects across the entire campus, from student experience to facilities operations. 

By guiding the migration and modernization of infrastructure, Microsoft partners can help education customers automate core processes that drain educator and staff resources. The time saved using cloud computing, AI enhancements such as Copilot, and other tools can free staff, faculty, and administration to focus on higher value activities. This can give them more time and solutions to improve student outcomes and achieve organizational objectives. Microsoft partners have the expertise to help your institution save money, deliver flexible and scalable solutions, and ensure business resiliency and continuity, while simultaneously delivering modernized, improved experiences and laying the groundwork for future innovation.

You’ll find data strategies and AI tools like Azure Fabric and Copilot AI assistant that can bring the latest technologies to students, administration, staff, and the community. 

No one is better positioned to guide you through the doorway to higher achievement than the Microsoft partners you’ll find here.

Every one of these partner solutions helps deliver valuable operational and student insights only available through cloud-scale analytics, AI, and modern business applications. 


Secure the data—protect the education

Every school and university must provide a safe place to learn, research, and share knowledge—both on-campus and online. But cyberattacks continue to take a disproportionate toll on the education industry, disrupting school operations, exposing sensitive information, and creating financial risks. Microsoft and our partners are committed to protecting data and systems with threat protection, data privacy and cloud business continuity solutions. Our partners’ offerings can also help schools recover from cyber disasters quickly, which creates less impact and ensures continued productivity for all stakeholders. 

Take some time to explore Microsoft partners for your educational technology needs. You’ll see that the solutions and platforms we bring to the marketplace together leverage the vast capabilities of Microsoft to deliver the innovations that modernize school systems, security, and infrastructure, so you can focus to reinvest in educational experiences.
