One of our clients is the Boudica Schools Trust, and we provide technology services to their multiple academies across Norfolk. This includes the new Bure Park Specialist Academy in Great Yarmouth and Sprowston Community Academy in Norwich.
The installation was designed and implemented to enable the central IT team to control technology services via a secure cloud-based portal. This includes IT Network Switches, Wi-Fi, Security Firewalls, Door Access Control, CCTV, and Voice Communications.
The design and implementation of this solution was deemed noteworthy enough to be referenced by leading network manufacture ZyXel as a case study. It was then put forward as ZyXel’s entry for Network Project of the Year 2021 at the National Computing Awards.
Callum Jackson, the Technical Director for Eastern Voice and Data who led the installations added
We designed and implemented a network that would harden security protecting against threats from both inside and out.
A primary goal was for the entire network to be centrally managed by the trust IT team with the aim to reduce the amount of site visits and increase the visibility of any issues.
The project ensured continuity of equipment and configuration throughout all the academies within the trust. This allowed the entire network to be maintained efficiently by the trust IT team.

For a regional technology business to win a national award of this standing is quite notable as it demonstrates the capability of a local business. It’s also significant that the Education Trust itself is held up as a trail blazer in effecting change for the benefit of their students.
The network has become an important tool for both our teachers and students because technology helps us provide engaging and powerful learning experiences and content. The new network offers greater efficiency and security, especially implementing a new cloud-based web filtering software that controls the types of content that can be accessed by pupils. The new network system also creates better learning opportunities and standards, while reducing costs
