First founded in 1985, Coleg Sir Gar is a large-sized Further Education college situated in Wales. As one of the largest colleges in the country, Coleg Sir Gar is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology, including laptops, tablets, digital whiteboards and more, for its students on a regular basis.
In 2008, in a bid to maintain its best-in-class technology estate, Coleg Sir Gar sought an alternative to buying all the digital equipment outright that would allow it to preserve cash for various other capital projects and student-focused innovation. Buying everything in one go was causing unwanted investment peaks – instead, they wanted to be able to spread all costs evenly over several years.
After putting out a formal tender process for a digital finance provider that could meet its business requirements, Coleg Sir Gar chose Econocom as its official partner.
