Always here to help your school or business

Many schools consider changing their SLA’s at this time of year for all the services they invest in. I’ve spoken to one school in particular this week that has no choice to choose a new IT Support provider as the company they invested time and money in over the past few years has withdrawn their services.

Why?

In a nutshell, yet again, the IT Support company aren’t happy because the school won’t buy products from them because they have sourced them cheaper elsewhere!!

Biting off the hand that feeds, it’s ridiculous that many IT Support companies rely on product sales to survive. I believe that part of the service we provide is to help schools get the best value, if it means we don’t supply products directly that’s fine.

Transparency is key and schools often don’t have the knowledge or time to spend looking around for solutions. That’s again where the provision of honest advice and guidance by their IT Support provider should take the headaches away.

The regular feedback I have received about what iNam does is “you’re the glue that holds everything together” - We ensure that everyone is involved and understands the bigger picture which enables technology to be embraced and work effectively.

There is a different way to do IT.

As schools are welcoming all pupils back tomorrow we’d like to reflect on a couple of key conversations with Headteachers this week which have lead to serious discussions to a change their IT Support. Our ongoing mission is to change the way that the long established IT Support providers to education operate. They don’t guide schools and help them achieve a vision that they want, it’s all about what’s right for the company profits. The way many IT Support technicians are treated by the companies they work for is awful. They are basically told to go in to fix, install & update without any clear understanding about the whole project. School staff ask the technician for advice on different ways of doing things and the general response is I don’t do that! No, an account manager who doesn’t live and breathe what’s going on in school comes in occasionally to sell the school more solutions which aren’t right for them. The technicians then have to continue putting the fires out as everyone tries to make sense of it all!
We could go on and on, however these schools have now gained an insight through the pandemic into how the example above isn’t an effective solution for them. They now have the confidence to ask for more
transparency as they embark on the new leg of this journey. ✅✅✅👏

“We are too busy at the moment to change what we’re doing”
How many times have we heard this or even said this ourselves.
There’s lots of examples over the last year of schools and businesses who are struggling with their technology and the way it is (or isn’t) supported. The COVID pandemic has meant that the “we’re too busy” scenario is stopping them making some simple changes to save time and start to move forward rather than be stuck in a frustrating position.
One of our latest school clients has taken a massive leap of faith having been let down and messed about for a long time by their previous provider. In the last couple of months we’ve done so much for the school that’s enabled them to have the confidence they need moving forward. Over the next week schools will be preparing for the return of all pupils on 8th March. Don’t be scared to make that change, we’ll always be busy. It’s what we do about it that matters. ✅✅✅

Are you a Primary School that’s having issues with your technology?
Is your existing support provider not looking after your best interests?
Do you have a vision to think differently and change the way things are done?

If in doubt, give iNam a shout!
