Confused by the Cloud?
The term Cloud has so many connotations that it can be misleading and confusing for us and our customers. At the simplest level, Cloud services are applications and services held elsewhere and accessed over the internet.
Cloud has been around for a while but only recently become a reality for schools. It's having quite an impact. Connectivity has improved, the required infrastructure is readily available, demands on capital budgets continue to challenge us... a new world filled with a wealth of applications and services is out there.
- Limitless possibilities: From Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps for Education to RM books, Education City and RM Easimaths. Your favourite applications are moving to the Cloud by adopting just a small amount of this rich capability, your school can do amazing things.
- Anytime anywhere learning: By their very nature, Cloud applications and services work on any device, at anytime and anywhere; be it at home or in school. Learning doesn't stop at the school gates, so why should your ICT?
- Ever evolving and growing: With Cloud applications and services, you're not constrained to usage by what your local infrastructure can cope with. You can scale up usage, pretty much at the flick of a switch; you just use what you need, and pay for that.
- Flexible and scalable: The great thing about Cloud is that it is open. You're not tied into a proprietary system so you can change services at the flick of a switch giving you the flexibility to try new things easily. Also, your solution can grow and evolve with you, so there's no need to plan and pay for every eventuality now.
- Always up to date: As Cloud applications and service are not installed locally, each application and service will update automatically and so you'll always be accessing the latest version.
- How do you find the best applications to use?
- How do you set up and manage user accounts in all these applications?
- How do your users access them easily without having to remember tens of usernames and passwords?
