Education / School IT Support

Adept is a leading provider of ICT services and solutions to the education sector, supporting more and more Schools and Colleges each month. 

While IT provision and IT support is essential for any organisation it is seldom a core business function and as such does not often justify the cost of dedicated specialist in-house management and expertise normally associated with larger commercial businesses. Over the years experience has taught us that this is particularly the case with Schools and Colleges.  However, with the average secondary school now operating around 275 networked computers with internet/broadband access, in effect, these educational establishments compare in size with the top end of the ‘Small to Medium sized Business’ category, with the need to run sophisticated database and management software.

In the absence of a dedicated specialist IT Manager, education establishments like commercial organisations often come under pressure when they need to make informed decisions about future IT planning, upgrades, replacements, and even the value and costs of how best to support the network moving forward. At times like this it is essential to have in-depth knowledge, understanding and experience of the current state-of-the-art IT options and future developments. The only economically viable answer is to take independent expert counsel you can trust – outsourcing IT support services is an ideal solution.

Adept Offering honest advice to schools, colleges and universities

Adept is an independent outsourced IT support business working with a diverse range of IT hardware and software partners. As such Adept is ideally placed to provide complete peace of mind advice covering all aspects of specialist IT support, including network management and strategic planning.

IT requirements vary enormously between different educational establishments, from small local schools to multi campus colleges and universities. Adept delivers outsourced IT support and consultancy to all sizes of organisation.

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

For more sizeable establishments with their own in-house IT provision, Adept are valued for their services as network ‘trouble-shooters’, or advisers when the requirement arises for infrastructural change. In these situations Adept provide a unique outsourced IT Director service to meet the strategic requirements, 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, Adept’s flexible approach means our staff can become members of your team working alongside your own ICT personnel, or implement and manage the whole project.
