Projector Replacements
Purpose: Information update on projectors available
through Education ICT Service
Audience: Headteachers, ICT Teams
We understand
some schools have received flyers from companies suggesting that projectors
purchased 4 years ago should be replaced. Whilst there may be a case for
considering replacement, please ensure you check with Education ICT Service
before committing to purchasing from any 3rd party as it is highly
likely we will be able to beat most competitors on price and service offerings.
Education ICT
Service have been through an exhaustive process to identify a recommended,
standard projector replacement for all Cambridgeshire schools. We have now
identified the Epson E83 as the most suitable projector in terms of
performance, installation and health and safety specifications. We have negotiated
very favourable purchase prices together with an excellent support package.
Education ICT
Service are also accredited Epson Support Providers which means you achieve
excellent service from us for your new projectors.
