Confused by 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.
It's not just about the applications and services held elsewhere, but also about the things that enable access and most effective use of those applications. How are you going to discover, access and manage all the great applications out there, anytime, anywhere?

Limitless possibilities: There is a new world of fantastic applications and services out there on the internet. 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.
A wealth of applications and services: There's a wealth of choice when it comes to Cloud applications and services, many are free and those that aren't are significantly cheaper than local alternatives.
Get more from your existing resources: Cloud can help you get more out of your existing equipment. Do you have some PCs that are getting tired and struggling as a fat client? You could use these as a thin client to access local virtualised and Cloud applications and services. Are your ICT team spending a lot of time managing your backup solution? You could backup straight to the Cloud, freeing up some of the team's time to focus on strategic ICT activities.
Pay as you use: Why pay now for what you might need in 3-4 years' time? Start with what you need now and then scale up as and when you need it.
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.
Right for you, now and in the future: Cloud is not a 'one size fits all' solution; every school will have different requirements and combinations of applications and services. RM Unify brings the ingredients you choose together into the perfect solution, just for you. Moving to the Cloud is a journey and at every stage, we'll be here to offer you advice and support.
