Challenge
AirDev partnered with UK-based consultancy Consenna to help HP reimagine and
relaunch its flagship HP for Education program, enabling thousands of schools and colleges
to procure modern IT solutions with credit from trading in their aging equipment.
HP leadership sought to expand the program by creating a digital marketplace for IT solution
providers. Key requirements included:
• Intuitive school onboarding & equipment trade-in flow
• Administrative portal for staff to review & approve claims
• Authorized reseller portal where staff can track and support customers
• Digital storefront where schools can spend earned wallet funds on solutions
