December 2, 2015
Q Associates have been recognised as a top 10 supplier in the CRN report on IT procurement within UK universities. A rundown of the top universities by IT spend reveals that Q Associates is ranked 10th of the top 100 suppliers and is also a “Top 5” supplier to 5 of the universities listed.
“Q have been operating in the Education sector for over 30 years now and this is excellent recognition for the company as a leading provider of IT solutions and services to universities across the UK” said David Cue, Managing Director, Q Associates.
The survey of education IT purchasing decision makers and Freedom of Information (FoI) data received from nearly 100 universities featured in the report painted a buoyant picture of IT spending in the UK education sector. More schools, college and university IT managers questioned had seen their IT budgets rise for this academic year than fall. Information obtained from universities suggests higher-education spending hiked more than a tenth in the academic year ending 31 July 2014.
The ICT market moves swiftly and the education sector is no exception. With the continued rise in competition across the HE sector, student success and satisfaction now depends increasingly upon services delivered through advanced technology platforms.
