SWWC IT² 2026

Device management is no longer just about knowing what you have. It is about using accurate, timely data to make better decisions around refresh cycles, support needs, budgeting, and long-term planning. In this session, we will explore how K-12 technology teams can move from basic inventory tracking to a more proactive lifecycle management strategy. Using district examples and insights from DICE, a device intelligence and lifecycle management platform designed to help schools track inventory, monitor fleet health, and plan for future technology investments, attendees will see how device data can provide better visibility into fleet status, longevity, and planning priorities. We will also discuss how emerging AI-enhanced insights can help technology leaders identify trends, reduce uncertainty, and build stronger device strategies. Attendees will be invited to share feedback on the tools, processes, and capabilities they would find most valuable in the future of K-12 device management, creating an interactive discussion focused on practical outcomes and continuous improvement.
