IT Support
IT Support for Schools and the Education Sector
Here at Bee IT Solutions, we understand that IT is a vital part of the day-to-day running of schools and nurseries. We also understand the challenges that schools face when dealing with sometimes unfamiliar technology. Software and hardware glitches, unreliable broadband connections, and cyber attacks are challenges that all institutions face.
Comprehensive IT Support in the Education Sector
We are committed to ensuring that your school or nursery IT infrastructure remains secure, reliable and effective. We can provide a service that is tailored to your unique needs and ensures that you will always have access to safe and functional IT systems.
Our friendly and expert team recognise the value of technology in education and we want to help you to realise its full potential.
Award-Winning Managed IT
We are proud to have been recently recognised as the Best Managed IT Service Provider 2023 – Yorkshire in the prestigious SME News IT Awards. This is a testament to our commitment to providing our clients with the highest level of service and support.
What are the benefits of optimised IT systems for schools?
When functioning effectively and safely, IT can help students access a wide range of learning resources wherever they are, and communicate with teachers and peers. This enriches the learning experience and ensures that students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in their future lives and careers.
IT also plays an important role in the management of the school, helping to track student progress and to manage finances and other administration tasks.
Hardware and software support
Schools and other educational institutions can face a growing battle to keep their IT systems up to date and running smoothly. We will be able to ensure that your IT infrastructure is regularly updated and upgraded to ensure maximum efficiency, and to flag up any issues that need to be addressed in the early stages.
Our team will also be able to advise you in selecting the best hardware and software to meet your requirements and provide you with the best value for your budget.
Network management
Schools now have complex IT infrastructure that will require regular maintenance and expert management. This can be too time-consuming or beyond the scope of in-house technicians.
Our expert teams pride themselves on keeping up with the latest technology, and will be able to ensure consistent performance across all networks and devices. Furthermore, we can provide a full data backup and recovery service for a swift recovery in the event of system failure.
What are the IT challenges that schools face?
We recognise that schools operate on tight budgets, and may not be able to employ enough staff with the expertise to keep up with today’s fast moving world of digital technology. Here at Bee IT Solutions, we can offer you a comprehensive and cost-effective managed service that will ensure your IT always functions seamlessly.
Schools have a duty to manage risk so that students cannot access inappropriate material and are aware of safety and security issues when using IT systems. As we become ever more reliant on technology in day to day operations, schools may find that managing their IT infrastructure in-house becomes increasingly difficult.
Downtime and cyber attacks can seriously disrupt student learning and affect the morale and motivation of staff and pupils. Furthermore, cyber security attacks and malware can not only be costly in terms of time and resources, but could potentially lead to a breach of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which can have serious legal consequences.
Cyber Security Solutions for Schools
The threat from cyberattacks is growing, and viruses and malware circulate more widely and criminals become more sophisticated in their attacks. At Bee IT Solutions, we have access to the latest cyber security technologies to ensure that your systems and data are protected at all times.
We use a multi-faceted approach, including antivirus software, firewalls, and data backup systems, combined with continuous and proactive monitoring. This will help us to detect and deal with any issues before they escalate. You can also be confident that your school will be compliant with GDPR, ensuring that sensitive student data is protected.
