IT in education

According to TeacherNet (a website run by the Communications Unit of the Department for Education and Skills) a typical secondary school will have on average 275 computers and 99% will have a network and Internet/broadband access, making a schools IT infrastructure akin to SME businesses.

Knowing what to specify, when to upgrade and what to replace are all major issues when purchasing IT equipment, regardless of whether you are in business or academia

There are schools which do benefit from experienced ICT co-ordinators, however many schools operate in a ‘break-fix’ manner, rather than taking a longer-term strategic approach to improving their ICT services.

By providing outsourced IT consultancy services to both the business and education sectors, ramsac is well placed to provide schools and colleges with expert guidance regarding the current state of their ICT infrastructure, their existing and future requirements and what hardware and software is needed (and when) to maximise the investment in technology.

ramsac's flexible outsourcing approach means that schools can choose either to outsource ICT management and support entirely, or to select specific services or experts to work alongside a school’s in house team of ICT technicians and teachers, to fill specific gaps, and to add additional support, advice and strategic direction to enable schools to blend commercial IT acumen with the unique needs of the education sector.
