We’ve studied the ICT problems educational institutions face

Educational institutions rely heavily on technology to deliver quality education and manage operations efficiently. Yet, many schools, colleges, and universities are burdened with legacy systems, outdated hardware and fragmented software solutions.

This can result in inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, wasted time, wasted resources and increased costs. Furthermore, the need for remote learning capabilities and the ongoing threat of cyberattacks add layers of complexity that many in-house ICT teams struggle to manage effectively.

The reality is that educational ICT departments are often under-resourced, making it difficult to provide the necessary support to staff and students.

That’s why RDS can help ensure that all technology used within your institution is up-to-date, secure, compliant and fit-for-purpose. Also, since we’re as mindful of budgets as you are, we’ll do it all while managing costs.

Case study: Pakeman School

We were asked to step in and assist Pakeman School in Islington. We equipped them with multi-function printers (MFPs) that are known for low running costs and reliability. We also installed cutting-edge print management software to provide Pakeman with full transparency over their print output and spend.

Emma Bonnin, the Headteacher at Pakeman School, assessed the support and expertise her school had received from RDS and stated:

“Working with RDS has been a very smooth and supportive process. Communication is excellent and continuous. As a school, we are very happy with the service.”
