The Forest School in Winnersh aims to be an excellent school, where there are successes of all kinds: successes that are celebrated openly and frequently; where people respect themselves, each other, and the environment.
Goals
The Forest School needed general IT support and help with its virtualised environment. The school liked Create IT’s approach and invited them in for the initial project and then to help with an exchange upgrade and migration.
Solutions
- Managed IT Support
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service
- Disaster Recovery
Results
“It can be difficult to navigate your way through the stream of information available, and we were pleased to be able to assist The Forest School and give them the best advice and support.
When Forest School took the decision to virtualise their entire infrastructure, Create IT were able to advise and continuously support the environment that had been created for them. As a school budgets can be difficult to manage, Create IT were able to deliver an agreement that was both extremely transparent while remaining responsive and flexible for the school’s needs.”
"We buy more than support through Create IT and use their advice on what to buy when it comes to hardware as they understand we need to find the most effective cost efficient solution. If indeed a new purchase is required, often they can fix the problem or manage an existing situation for us instead.
When we do need to buy, Create IT is very competitive too. Naturally we look at the whole market when we are buying hardware and Create IT will have offered a competitive price point from the very start which at best can only be matched by other suppliers - getting that value for money is important for us in the current economy.
I would recommend Create IT because of its outstanding support and because they come up with ideas and crucially are not money driven. Create IT are focused on us."
