Technology brand shifts attention to software
to meet demand for connected devices in education
Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, can today reveal
that it has partnered with Casio, one of the world’s leading
manufacturers of consumer electronics products and business
equipment solutions, to enable Casio to seamlessly bring digital
education into the classroom and beyond.
This move will help Casio continue its leadership in classroom
technology, fuelled by trends including increased use of connected
devices, remote learning and the gamification of education, at the
same time maximising revenues and streamlining business operations.
With the implementation of Gemalto Sentinel Entitlement Management
System (EMS) and software license Rights Management System (RMS)
solutions, Casio will have an enhanced understanding of how their
software features are being used in the classroom.
Founded in 1957, Casio released the world’s first personal
calculator and has gone on to produce a variety of products
including calculators, watches, electronic dictionaries, electronic
musical instruments, digital cameras and system equipment. Now,
with Gemalto technology, the Tokyo headquartered manufacturer has
been able to ensure its scientific calculators can be used by
educators around the world who are moving away from traditional
teaching methods and incorporating digital technologies into their
classrooms.
“While the majority of our business revolves around hardware, we
are seeing great growth opportunity in software business, and we needed to find a way to
expand and enrich our own model to meet our customers’ needs,” said
Tomoaki Satoh, General Manager, Product Planning Department,
Consumer & Educational Solution Product Division for Casio.
“Now, thanks to Gemalto’s advanced technology and insights, we’ve
been able to address new markets, streamline our fulfilment
process, improve efficiency, and reduce operational costs. We are
looking forward to growing together through collaboration and
cooperation.”
After implementing Gemalto Sentinel Entitlement Management
System (EMS) and software license Rights Management System (RMS)
solutions, Casio is now a successful hardware and software-enabled
company. Utilising RMS to ensure control and visibility on how its
education software is being used and EMS to maximise revenues and
streamline business operations, Casio has cemented its future as a
market leader in both education hardware and software.
Combining both solutions has enabled the company to tailor its
offerings to different markets with one and three-year licenses, to
fit in with student needs, as well as a 90-day trial version
available. Sales will be boosted through the development of the
website for electronic distribution and existing sales
channels.
“The education sector is changing to a more digital focus and
companies operating in this space need to change with it,” said
Shlomo Weiss, senior vice president of Software Monetization at
Gemalto. “Through this business transformation, our technology will
enable Casio to meet the demands of its customers and offer an
innovative service that can meet these emerging trends.”
