Agenda

New Economic Environment and Education

Stimulus Investments for Long Term Economic Sustainability

The Education Continuum – A more integrated approach

Smarter Classroom


The global economy is in a different kind of downturn Traditional responses will not suffice

Long andDifficult

Unprecedented constraints on access to capital

Decreasing consumer spending and property values leading to reduced revenues and operational funds

Disruptions in supply chains reducing the number of viable vendors

Increasing demand for public services as private sector alternatives become unaffordable

Transformative

Industries will be restructured

New regulatory regimes requiring greater reporting and accountability

Activist government will be engaged in local decision making

Infrastructure investments to support transformation

Typical cost management willNOT be enough

Education institutions must

rethink key processes to both improve student performance, as well as reduce

costs – we need smarter

approaches


Succeeding in the New Economic Environment: Why Invest in Education?

• Education is recognized as a Critical Element to Economic Recovery

“… Economists have long recognized that the skills of the workforce are an important source of economic growth… policies that lead to broad investments in education and training can help reduce inequality while expanding economic opportunity.” (Bernanke, 2007).

• Economic Stimulus Packages around the globe have targeted investments in Education : United States: $100B in learning, technology and school modernization

European Union: $300B includes investments in education and retraining

France: $33B in public sector including higher education

Sweden: $1B in economic stimulus measures for the labor market and education

Israel: $5.4B investments include education

China: $586B, 2-year stimulus package. 4.4B to improve school buildings and add teaching facilities in central and western China.

Australia: $1.1B investment in education source: IBM MI Data on Economic Stimulus 12/15/08

Value of the Smarter Classroom

Puts data and insights to use in the classroom– Leverage data analytics and online tools to provide teachers and

faculty insights into student performance– Shift from “Does technology help learning” to using technology to

answer the question “What is this student learning, and where can I help?”

Uses open learning tools to harness a community of resources– Teachers and faculty can focus on learning outcomes– Tools built by educators, for educators

Reduces costs– Simplified maintenance of centralized devices– Software updates logistically simplified– Nearly eliminate desk-side support requirements

Increases reliability, availability & productivity– Ability to run the newest applications– Controlled, secure, centralized location– Seamless swap to spare device upon failure– Instructors don’t struggle with IT issues


Financing with IBM Global Financing Access to funding and cash to enable transformation in tight credit market

– An alternative capital / funding source– Allows clients to preserve cash and credit lines for other core business needs

Cash Flow Management– Predictable and known costs over a fixed term with structures such as long term financing up

to 6 years and shorter term billing deferrals.– Custom structuring to match payments to solution benefits - a better alignment between the

return on investment and the actual expenditure

Management of the entire technology lifecycle– Leasing eliminates up front investment costs, keeps assets off balance sheet and mitigates

the asset lifecycle management headache– Asset recovery solutions can free up cash, protect data and help the environment

Reduced costs– Used equipment provides access to reliable IBM technology at lower price points

An extra dimension to IBM– Sales professionals with finance and leasing experience are a free resource to support and

financially structure your opportunities– Financial re-engineering can reduce initial investment hurdle and shorten the payback period
