Saplings
"ITGUYS were able to achieve academic status for Saplings Schools with Microsoft and this enabled us to run our Emails and Intranet from the Cloud at a fraction of the commercial cost. We were also able to benefit from low academic cost for regular software such as Microsoft office"
Janet Duminy, Chairperson Saplings Schools.
The Challenge
Saplings are a group of special schools for Children with autism and complex needs. As a growing organisation they outgrew their existing mail and collaboration server. They put out a tender for a new mail server. They received a number of costly solutions from servers to mail providers...
Our Solution
IT Guys as a certified Microsoft Education Partner quickly identified a solution that would not only fulfill all of Saplings needs and more, but by leveraging Microsofts Education licensing would cost Saplings nothing permanently. This including eliminating the need to perform a costly server upgrade.
Benefits
The benefit to Saplings is a reliable collaboration system that that works between all of their schools and offers the potential to store all their specialist content in one location available everywhere.
