Trust IT Support

AIT understand that becoming a Trust is a significant commitment and leveraging the collaboration to support all schools is a key factor. Implementing a coordinated approach to IT is a key method to enhance the efficiency and workflow between all the trust schools.

AIT are experts in working with Trusts to implement a trust wide IT service that not only reduces overall costs but delivers the absolute best IT to all schools within the group.

AIT have a vision to provide a central IT infrastructure that can be used to deliver a unified service to schools. Centralising staffing, procurement, budget planning and IT direction results in a more coherent flow and dramatically reduces costs.

We aim to minimize the involvement of third parties to ensure services and resources are managed by the in-house team, thus enabling a more efficient and reliable overall service.

AIT propose a complete cloud solution, meaning every Primary/Secondary would be consolidated into one Active Directory and have no physical servers on site. Utilising AIT’s infrastructure and secure Datacentre in Nottingham there would no longer be the need for individual schools to maintain separate equipment. All this reduces the possibility of downtime whilst enhancing the availability of resources and futureproofing the schools investment. Reducing the IT spend and focusing it on the end devices encourages the reediness of IT equipment as less investment is required for behind the scenes resources.
