"The University of Texas has always been a leader in technology and has set the standard in how best to take advantage of technology for their staff and students," said John Sarantakes, vice president of North American Sales at Absolute Software. "And now that they have chosen Absolute Manage, they can demonstrate better accountability for their resources, save time and money managing their computers and use those resources in other areas that improve learning outcomes across the university."
