Surface & Snapdragon: Built for Public Services

For a long time, Microsoft Surface devices were rarely seen in Irish Public Sector procurement. That's changing, and it's worth understanding why.

Join Bechtle, together with Microsoft Surface and Snapdragon, to see what's driving this shift and what it means for your organisation.

Surface devices powered by Snapdragon aren't just another line in an already crowded portfolio. They offer real advantages where the Public Sector needs them most: price stability, reliable stock availability, and strong sustainability credentials, alongside the productivity gains and seamless integration with asset management that modern deployments demand.

Microsoft is woven into almost every workday, powering efficient devices and reliable tools all of us depend on.

Join Microsoft as they explore:

How Microsoft Surface integrates seamlessly with the device and asset management tools your organisation already uses
Broad compatibility with existing peripherals, alongside extended warranty and support options
The key differences between Surface devices and other hardware platforms
Current market trends, including stock availability, price stability, and what they mean for your procurement strategy

Snapdragon by Qualcomm is delivering the performance, efficiency, and connectivity we need to not fall behind.

Join Snapdragon as they explore:

What sets Snapdragon technology apart
Like-for-like comparisons across performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability, and the impact these factors can have on your organisation
Why Snapdragon-powered devices are less affected by current market conditions and supply chain challenges

And lastly, at Bechtle, we aim to strengthen the connection between modern technology and the public sector.
