Washburn University equips faculty and staff with next-gen Lenovo devices
To give everyone on its campuses access to the digital tools they need to thrive, Washburn partnered with Lenovo Financial Services. By switching from costly capital procurement to cost-effective leasing, the company can deliver brand-new devices to its users every five years.
Customer Problem
Some of the 1,500 workstations, laptops, and servers at Washburn were more than a decade old, making it hard for students, staff, and faculty to access the tools they needed.
Lenovo Solution
With leasing from Lenovo Financial Services, the University has replaced all its aging hardware with modern, high-performance devices.
Business Impact
Moving from capital purchases to leasing enables Washburn University to refresh its entire estate without large up-front costs—boosting application performance for users by 70%.
“With Lenovo as our go-to technology partner, we’re ready to help our users take full advantage of the latest digital capabilities.”
John Haverty, Chief Information Officer, Washburn University
