Assistant Head

Used Cloud Design Box for 9 months

Nov 2020

The support they provided prior to the project and throughout has been tremendous. Both Tony and Darren had a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge that they brought to the table and shared with us. They provided excellent online training (due to COVID) for all school staff. Since implementation their technical support is very efficient.

Steve Beard found Cloud Design Box:
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity
    They have assisted in the moving of resources from the school network drive to One Drive and SharePoint. They have built an infrastructure in Share Point for shared resources to be saved.
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    The use of Teams for meetings
  • Slightly saves school money
    In the long term the moving to the cloud should be cheaper than the use of local servers. The initial cost is more expensive.
  • Moderately improves school processes
    Sharing of resources via Teams. Use of share point and power automate for requests etc.
  • Does not significantly improve parental engagement
    Unfortunately due to Microsoft not providing parent accounts to either Share Point or Teams, this has decreased parental engagement. Our previous use of Class Charts for example allows parents to access the system.
