Modernising your IT environment with a cloud-first approach
Schools and MATs face ever increasing pressures on budget allocations, with Microsoft 365 the need for on-premises IT infrastructure can be greatly reduced and the requirement for servers can be eradicated completely. Likewise, with data migrated to the cloud, the requirement for remote access services such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) can be removed. The reduced reliance on these systems result in significant cost savings for organisations.
