No-hassle, high-value IT services for schools and charities

Independent expert opinion you can trust

While IT provision and IT support is essential for operations many organisations are faced with the fact that IT itself is not a core business function. Over the years experience has taught us that this is particularly the case with schools and charities.

In effect, with the average secondary school now operating around 275 networked computers with internet/broadband access, many educational establishments compare in size with larger SME category businesses. In common with charities they also need to run sophisticated database and management software.

In the absence of a dedicated specialist strategic resource, organisations often come under pressure when they need to make informed decisions about future IT planning, upgrades or replacement, or even the value and costs of how best to support the network moving forward. At times like this it is essential to take independent expert counsel you can trust – outsourcing IT support services is an ideal solution.

Offering honest advice to schools and charities

ramsac is an independent outsourced IT support business working with a diverse range of IT hardware and software partners. As such ramsac is ideally placed to give independent advice in the following areas:

• IT Support
• Network Management
• Project Management
• Strategic Planning
• IT Director
• Server Monitoring
• IT Human Resources

IT requirements vary enormously between organisations in the school and charity sectors and ramsac delivers outsourced IT support and consultancy to all sizes of organisation.

For some smaller schools and charities ramsac can ‘own’ and deliver the entire IT provision from initial IT planning stage to ongoing network support and network management.

Many more sizeable organisations, often with their own in-house IT provision, have come to use and value ramsac’s services as network ‘trouble-shooters’, or when the requirement arises for infrastructural change. In these situations organisations take advantage of ramsac’s outsourced IT Director service to scope the strategic requirement, build the IT Plan, help identify and select appropriate suppliers and then project manage the network installation.

Whatever the level of outsourced IT support required, ramsac’s flexible approach means ramsac staff can become members of a team working alongside the organisation’s own ICT provision, or take the lead on the whole project.
