Hybrid Cloud transforms student IT experience
at The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership
The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP) is a consortium of seven schools based in the
Midlands, comprising of three secondary schools and four primary schools.
The ATLP were operating on IT systems that were ageing and required upgrading to cope
with increasing demand. The primary schools faced their own problems with a hosting service
that was not able to deliver effective collaboration capabilities. This meant the schools could
not communicate between each other in a simple and cost effective manner and flexible
collaboration was not possible between different devices and locations.
The Partnership needed to reduce the time they were wasting during lessons and make
collaboration easier. C24, a Six Degrees Group company, was approached by the ATLP to assist
with an organisation wide migration from on-premise email and Microsoft Office applications
to a hybrid cloud solution via the Office 365 platform.
The migration was completed non-disruptively and staff communication within and
between schools has greatly improved. Students now have a seamless link between their files
at school and at home, meaning they can access learning materials wherever they are.
