Education has unique printing needs, and you don’t have time to waste on inefficient equipment or unresponsive vendors.
As your trusted technology advisor, we can provide visibility into asset management, print spend, device allocation, and more—all while devising strategies to reduce costs, streamline operations, and secure your network with solutions proven to meet the demands of K-12 schools.
Here are six reasons to partner with Prosource for your school or district’s print technology needs:

Prosource's dedication to service and support has exceeded our expectations. When we need service on our equipment, their team responds quickly and communicates effectively with our staff to ensure our needs are met. They are a true partner of ours, and we highly recommend them.
We staff one of the largest fleets of service technicians in the region, and we maintain local inventories of parts and supplies. When you need service, our certified engineers can be on-site within four hours.
Are you in a buying cycle for your K-12 school or district? Is your current vendor talking with you about renewing your contract early?
