A powerful partnership with big benefits

When you partner with SYNNEX to resell Microsoft Education solutions, you get resources like pre- and post-sales support, and guidance for helping teachers create science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practices.

Start building a profitable cloud practice today while transforming the classroom with modern learning tools: Microsoft Education products are easy for teachers to manage, support better learning outcomes, and fit into any budget.

Collaborative and inclusive

A focus on collaboration and inclusivity has never been more important. With today’s hybrid learning, no matter where they are when they sign in, students using Microsoft 365 solutions engage and collaborate with their teachers and classmates in safe, highly secure, multi-modal spaces that create a foundation for learning. Teachers can personalize learning, even from a distance, by assigning tailored lessons and providing transparent feedback with tools that integrate with their learning management system (LMS). Microsoft Teams and other products also have built-in accessibility tools, such as live caption translation and Immersive Reader.

The best part? For eligible education customers, students get Microsoft 365 for free.*


Microsoft 365 Education

Accessible, affordable devices

It’s challenging for educators to keep up with today’s ever-changing mix of remote, hybrid, and in-person classes—and the cost of tools to do so. But you can trust that students and teachers are always connected and prepared when they’re using Microsoft devices. Help put Windows 10 into the hands of teachers and their students, so they’ll have innovative tools and personalized devices built specifically for the classroom and remote learning. Microsoft is currently providing thousands of education users with affordable Windows 10 devices, offering free educator training, and providing no-cost solutions that protect students online.*


Shape the Future

Modern classroom management

Intune for Education, available in all Microsoft 365 Education plans, offers a simpler way to deploy and manage classroom devices. Its zero-touch management feature changes apps and settings applied by default to each enrolled device through the cloud, making updates a breeze. And because it easily scales to the environment, it lightens the load for schools’ IT teams.

Intune and School Data Sync make it simple to quickly import school, student, and teacher information, automatically create classes, and keep student data up to date.

And there are more benefits to uncover. With Intune, it takes less than an hour to set up a new user, whether they’re using a Windows, MacOS, iOS, or Android device. All that time organizations save setting up and deploying devices can be redistributed where it’s needed most—to the classroom.
