There’s a lot of confusion about 'moving to the cloud’ but what does it actually involve?
In most cases it simply means making increased use of Software as a Service (SaaS).
It’s not scary, it can be done in small steps and there are huge advantages to be gained.
If your school uses Microsoft Office365 or Google G Suite for Education you are already benefiting from this new delivery mechanism but may not be aware of the wide range of complementary services designed to support both learning and administration that are delivered in exactly the same way.
For the last few years almost every technical innovation focused on education has been delivered through a browser or via an app store and schools can take advantage of this trend to deliver IT services in a completely new manner.
Could you get to the point where you no longer need local servers and your school operates entirely from the cloud ?
It’s certainly possible and some schools already work this way but the first step is to examine how this new resource can be used to transform learning, unlock potential and set you on a path towards a more sustainable IT future.
How can we help?
