Outsourced IT Director
Most Schools and MATs don’t need a full-time IT Director, but they do need one for a day or two a month – or maybe for a special project. That’s where we come in.
An Expert Strategic Overview
Your “Flywheel IT Director” will work with your existing infrastructure, providing valuable support, identifying opportunities for future development, helping you choose the right technology to solve your business problems and helping you decide what IT changes you should make and when.
Big Corporation Standards, on a School Budget
The vast majority of schools have to make decisions without the availability of seasoned and qualified ICT experts on the staff. An outsourced IT director gives you all the expertise that large enterprises can enjoy, but for a tiny fraction of the cost – as you only use the service when you need it.
Budget Your ICT Strategy for the Next 10 Years
We offer a ’10 Year Plan’ service which starts with a complete technology audit. We then benchmark each component of your school’s ICT resources against not only Department for Education minimum standards but also the average maturity of other schools. From this we can draw up advice on the main areas in which you will need to focus investments, so you can plan a school ICT budget for the next 10 years.
