Finance built for school environments
Apple device programmes work best when finance and lifecycle planning are part of the original conversation. ASI helps schools think beyond the initial purchase to how devices are funded, managed and refreshed over time, in a way that fits real school budgets and procurement cycles.
Flexible funding models
Spread the cost of Apple devices with financing options that align to school budget cycles and procurement requirements.
Device refresh planning
Plan ahead so your fleet stays current without gaps, emergency procurement or devices running past their useful life.
Ongoing lifecycle support
Manage the full life of each device, from deployment through to retirement, with ASI alongside you at each stage.

ASI helps schools plan Apple investment with confidence, from the first purchase through to device retirement.
Support is shaped around your school’s budget cycle, procurement requirements and technology roadmap.

Financing and refresh plans that align to how your school actually plans and spends across the year, not a generic payment schedule.
