The New Jersey School Boards Association has partnered with Edge to expand the products offered through its Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) program. Under the new agreement, districts will be able to purchase Microsoft products through the Edge cooperative pricing system, which eliminates the need to undergo the competitive bidding process.

The Microsoft EES, offered through SHI International, is a simple, cost-effective way of procuring the tools schools need to prepare students for the modern workplace while empowering teachers to deliver 21st-century digital learning.

Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) provides:

  • A simple annual payment based on full-time equivalent (FTE) employees; not a growing PC count.
  • No-cost work-at-home rights for your teachers so they have the same tools at home and at school.

  • Professional Development with a focus on building teacher capacity at no additional cost.
  • A host of free tools from Office 365 including Office Online (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, OneNote); Exchange (email) Online, SharePoint Online, Lync and one Terabyte of storage through OneDrive.

Additional new benefits include:

  • Level B Pricing
  • Minecraft for Education (Included in the bundle)
  • Free Classroom Tools (StaffHub, Sway, One Note Class Notebook, Office Lens)
  • Education Qualified Users vs. Full-Time Employees
  • Email Compliance – Legal Hold, eDiscovery
