Microsoft for Education

Transforming Classrooms with Microsoft Surface:

Solutions IT is one of the largest providers of education technology solutions to schools across WA. Since the first Surface device launched in 2012, we’ve helped schools harness the power of Microsoft Surface to create flexible, secure, and future-ready classrooms.

A Surface Success Story

Discover how Alta-1 College — a care and curriculum re-engagement school with 23 campuses across Western Australia and nearly 1,000 students — made the switch to Microsoft Surface. As their technology partner, we worked alongside Alta-1 to design a

carefully managed rollout that supported staff and students through change. Together, we introduced over 800 Surface devices across the college, integrating seamlessly with Microsoft 365 to enable collaboration, individualised learning, and greater flexibility for staff who travel between campuses.

Inspired by Alta-1’s story? Let’s explore how Surface could transform learning at your school.

The Strength of a Unified Microsoft Environment

The Power of the Microsoft Ecosystem

Pairing Microsoft 365 with Surface for Education gives schools the complete ecosystem for teaching, learning, and administration. With built-in accessibility tools, cloud integration, and offline functionality, students and teachers can create, collaborate, and stay productive anywhere — knowing their work is secure.

At the heart of this ecosystem is Microsoft Teams, the digital hub that brings learning together. Teams enables teachers to run virtual classrooms, set assignments, give feedback, and connect securely with students, whether in person or online. When used on Surface devices, Teams and Microsoft 365 deliver a seamless experience that combines handwriting, touch, video, and collaboration tools, creating classrooms that are more engaging, inclusive, and connected.

As a trusted Microsoft Partner and Surface Education Reseller our Microsoft education services bring together the power of Microsoft 365 and Surface devices to create flexible, inclusive, and future-ready learning environments.
