Overview

Introduction

Welcome to the 2026/27 edition of our Higher Education Brochure. Higher education plays a vital role in shaping the future through research, innovation and the development of tomorrow’s workforce. As technology continues to evolve, its value is no longer measured by features alone, but by the real impact it has across teaching, learning, student experience and institutional performance. Delivering that impact requires more than great technology; it requires the right expertise, guidance and partnership to turn ambition into achievement.

Delivering that impact requires more than great technology; it requires the right expertise, guidance and partnership to turn ambition into achievement.

For over 35 years, Converge has supported hundreds

of universities and higher education institutions across the UK with tailored, end-to-end IT solutions. Our consultative approach aligns technology with each university’s specific goals, challenges and digital ambitions. Sustainability is central to how we work. From design and deployment to support, refurbishment and recycling, we deliver a circular technology solution from our 100,000 sq. ft. UK headquarters. As the UK’s only IT manufacturer and value-added reseller with a recycling facility, we help universities extend technology life, reduce environmental impact and get more value from investments. Inside, you’ll see how Converge can help build stronger foundations for teaching, learning and operations, while supporting a more sustainable future for education.

Together, let’s accelerate what’s possible.
