The role of an IT leader has many facets.

It often includes operational and strategic planning, developing and improving ICT / network systems, risk management and ensuring everything is safe, reliable, effectively used and up to date.

Our IT leaders also need to be source of expertise on current and emerging digital safeguard technologies and statutory obligations. It’s a complex portfolio of responsibility.

There is little capacity for disruption.

Working with external technology partners such as Smoothwall therefore has to be seamless.

Partnership and integration

Our goal is a close and collaborative relationship with our school IT leaders to help them manage robust online safety across the school population.

Close and collaborative relationship

We understand your need for efficiency and provide highly skilled individuals across all areas of digital safety to help you deploy and run a high performance solution.

Knowledge sharing

Two-way knowledge sharing from our different perspectives ensures both sides stay ahead of new and emerging dangers. It also ensures Smoothwall’s pioneering and developing technologies are compatible with individual school environments and the needs of those who manage them.
