Case Study: Konan University achieves smarter, more portable learning with Microsoft Corporation’s Surface Pro 4

Konan University - Customer Case Study

Konan University’s Faculty of Management Creation needed a durable, portable digital device to support its project-based learning model and campus-wide ICT environment. Working with Microsoft Corporation, the university evaluated several computers for new students and selected the Surface Pro 4 as its recommended PC for 2016 and 2017, prioritizing battery life, keyboard input, portability, and reliability.

Microsoft Corporation helped deliver a device that fit Konan University’s needs: the Surface Pro 4 was widely adopted, with over 80% of buyers reportedly highly satisfied. It became the first recommended computer chosen two years in a row, and Microsoft’s responsive repair support within a week helped stabilize students’ learning progress and improve day-to-day collaboration and presentations.
