How it works

Scoped on request

Ad hoc work sits outside the named solution families by design. Tell us what you need, and we will scope it, set clear assumptions, and give you a costed proposal. If it turns into an ongoing need, we will recommend the right named solution.

What schools ask us for

Four things we are often asked to deliver

Common ad hoc requests, each scoped and costed to your situation.

Ad hoc service

IT Project Management

We manage specific IT projects from initiation to completion, whether that is a new system rollout or an infrastructure upgrade. Delivery is run to a recognised method, PRINCE2 or Agile, so the project lands on time, within budget, and with minimum disruption to the school day.

Ad hoc service

Centre of Excellence

Strategic IT guidance, roadmap development, and consultancy that align technology with your educational goals and future needs. Senior engineers, consultants, and data specialists help you make informed decisions about where to invest, so spend follows strategy rather than the other way round.

Ad hoc service

IT Audits and Health Checks

A comprehensive review of your IT infrastructure and security that identifies risks, inefficiencies, and areas to improve, and gives you a clear picture of where you stand today. It is often the route into Cyber Essentials and a five-year IT strategy.

Ad hoc service

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Plans that ensure your critical systems and data can be recovered quickly after an incident, with disruption to the school kept to a minimum. We assess the risks, plan for scenarios such as flood and fire, and test the recovery procedures regularly so the plan works when it is needed.
