‘For schools, Chromebooks are very appealing because they are very inexpensive. Tey are thin and light and there are no moving parts so they are easy and low cost to maintain and you can make incredible savings in power as well. Te data is pretty much all in the cloud and that makes it a much more collaborative way of working and even if one gets mislaid or stolen, no data is lost. Security and software updates are all taken care of on Chrome, so there is no need for separate anti-virus software. With the Chrome Management Console they can control the apps that kids can access and apply policies to groups of users, so they get a high level of control - and it is amazingly simple and easy to use.’
Widening interest
But it is not just education that is looking at Chrome seriously. Interest is being shown right across the public and commercial sectors and vendors are now starting to put more resources into Chrome devices. Tech Data, in addition to forming its team, is creating a dedicated microsite for Chrome solutions. It’s getting plenty of support from Google too, says Beresford. ‘Google are very committed to the channel and they are working with us to reach out to more resellers, so they are ready when customers come to them and ask them about Chrome.’

Tat’s the whole point about Chrome really. In the end, customers will choose what platform they want to use and as more of them take a genuine interest in exploring the Chrome option, the channel will need to be ready to offer them that choice.
