Case Study | Revolutionizing IT for the Education Sector

The Kemnal Academies Trust (TKAT) is a leading Multi-Academy Trust in the UK, managing a diverse network of primary and secondary academies primarily in the Southern region.

Dedicated to delivering exceptional education, TKAT emphasizes both academic excellence and the holistic development of students. With a vision focused on empowering schools and nurturing the potential within every student, TKAT ensures that its academies provide environments where creativity and critical thinking are valued.

Each academy under TKAT retains its unique character while adhering to a collective ethos of achieving personal bests and fostering lifelong learning. Through collaborative efforts and a commitment to quality, TKAT is instrumental in shaping well-rounded individuals ready to make a positive impact on society.

The challenge was clear: They moved from schools being managed with local teams to a centralized team. This shift required a profound transformation in how the Trust's technological infrastructure was monitored and managed across its numerous academies.

They needed to monitor their devices and integrate alerts into their helpdesk.

This was essential for maintaining the high standard of education and operational efficiency that TKAT is known for. The decentralized nature of their previous system posed a considerable obstacle to achieving this level of oversight and responsiveness.

The company was thus faced with the task of finding a solution that could offer real-time monitoring and management capabilities, ensuring that all educational and administrative activities could proceed without interruption and that issues could be swiftly addressed, enhancing the overall learning and teaching environment.

In response to this challenge, Domotz provided a highly intuitive and cost-effective solution.

Recognizing the Trust's need for a seamless transition to a centralized monitoring system, Domotz provided a platform that was not only easy to use but also easy to understand, ensuring that the staff could quickly adapt without the need for extensive training.

The interface's simplicity ensured that it was easily understandable and usable by the Trust's staff, facilitating a smooth transition to a centralized system without the necessity for in-depth technical training.

This ease of use extended to the configuration of alerts, which could be efficiently set up to monitor the vast array of devices across TKAT's schools, ensuring any issues were promptly identified and addressed.

What’s more, the pricing of the Domotz solution further cemented its suitability for the Trust, offering a compelling blend of affordability and functionality.
