How PHINMA Education and Lenovo Are Transforming Learning in the Philippines and Indonesia

For millions of students in the Philippines and Indonesia, the dream of a college degree can feel just out of reach.

In fact, in the Philippines, only 1 in 4 students who begin first grade will go on to complete a tertiary education. It's a sobering statistic — and a powerful motivator for PHINMA Education, a trailblazing private institution dedicated to changing that story.

A Mission Rooted in Access and Impact

PHINMA Education isn't just about classrooms and curriculums — it's about creating opportunity. With 12 campuses across the Philippines and Indonesia, PHINMA offers affordable, high-quality education to students from low-income families. Many of these students are the first in their families to attend college — a milestone that doesn’t just change one life, but entire communities.

To date, PHINMA Education has supported over 144,000 students through more than 110 academic programs. But delivering education at scale requires more than passion — it demands a smart, unified IT backbone. That’s where Lenovo comes in.

Partnering with Lenovo for a Smarter, More Unified Future

To support its growing network of institutions and streamline its operations, PHINMA Education partnered with Lenovo to create a unified digital ecosystem. This meant moving away from a fragmented tech landscape — where multiple brands caused compatibility issues — and instead building a consistent, reliable infrastructure across all campuses.

With Lenovo’s cutting-edge devices and cloud-ready platforms, PHINMA now has the tools to offer more personalized, interactive, and resilient learning environments. Faculty members benefit too, with intuitive tools that help them create engaging, tech-enabled lessons that resonate with today’s digital-native students.

Solving Real Problems with Smarter Tech

Managing multiple tech brands had become a major challenge for PHINMA’s IT teams. From inconsistent support to software incompatibilities, the system was holding them back. Consolidating with Lenovo simplified everything — from procurement and deployment to device management and cloud migration. The result? Faster decision-making, reduced operational costs, and less downtime.

And thanks to Lenovo’s Device as a Service (DaaS) and EdVision program, PHINMA educators are now better equipped to weave technology into every part of their teaching — making lessons more accessible, more relevant, and more impactful.

The Results Speak for Themselves

In just two years, PHINMA Education has deployed over 2,000 Lenovo devices, with plans to add another 1,000 by 2025. The partnership is also expanding to include Lenovo TruScale DaaS and Managed Services, ensuring always-on support and a consistent supply of top-tier technology.

This isn’t just an IT upgrade — it’s a transformation. One that allows PHINMA to focus on what really matters: changing lives through education.

A Vision for a Brighter Southeast Asia

PHINMA Education’s story is a powerful reminder that when technology and purpose come together, real change is possible. With Lenovo as a trusted partner, PHINMA is building a future where every student — no matter their background — has the tools, support, and opportunity to thrive.

From the classroom to the cloud, this partnership is creating a smarter, more inclusive future for education in Southeast Asia — one student at a time.
