The next obvious stepfor a better way of workingDoes this sound familiar?

Your IT budget has to cover hardware and an ICT service contract. Budget cuts mean you can’t afford to update equipment every three years (as recommended) so you stretch it to every five years or more. The software and equipment becomes obsolete before the five years is up so your ICT costs increase as you fire-fight increasingly obsolete hardware for two years. Your valuable on-premise servers struggle to cope with increasing demands. Each service needs a new login to manage it. Data gets duplicated as staff inadvertantly create multiple copies of files... and so it could go on.

PTCloud is our ultimate education, all-encompassing hosting platform. PTCloud combines all the core ICT services and products that a school requires, and combines them in to one manageable annual agreement.

The school of today...

In the ever-changing world of technology, all education establishments alike suffer from the same problems when embedding technology in to a school. Varying ages and quality of equipment IT equipment lifespan is stretched (often beyond five years) Varying outdated software platforms Outdated security and insecure machines Remote working not always possible Variation of ICT skills across school staff

Schools today often have a five-year rolling plan to continually replace technology throughout the school. This includes the replacement of servers, administration devices, staff devices, pupil devices, mobile tablets as well as the key network infrastructure.

This five-year rolling cycle is guaranteed to create a variation of device capabilities, software versions and device availability throughout the school.

...may have problems that need to be overcome.

How does PTCloud resolve the technology cycle?

PTCloud is a hosting platform designed specifically for education.

It removes the current requirement for having a server on-site and instead uses the PTCloud hosting platform. This hosting platform is managed, maintained and constantly kept up-to-date therefore ending the five-year onsite server upgrade cycle.

In addition to the hosting platform PTCloud also includes a complete end-user device refresh every three years. This means all staff and pupils will always be using the most up-to-date technology throughout the school.
