Education supplier RM has won a contract to refresh the Harris Federation’s IT infrastructure over the next five years.
For those not in the know, Harris Federation is a multi-academy trust in and around London. The idea of the partnership is that every academy will have a full infrastructure refresh, including increasing wireless points and switches and cabling.
RM will also replace all devices with a standard design that will allow all teachers and pupils to improve the quality of teaching further.
RM MD Jason Tomlinson said: “RM is uniquely positioned to underpin Harris Federation’s digital transformation along every step of their journey. Our ability to not only augment their IT organisation but also provide them with access to best-in-class next generation platform-delivered managed services, automation and our enhanced buying power through our unique partnerships, will give them the leverage they need to achieve their strategy and deliver the positive impact they are looking for. “
Sir Dan Moynihan, CEO of the Harris Federation, said the partnership enables the federation to keep local infrastructure and service teams in place whilst also “benefiting from RM’s expertise in the field as well as its buying power.
“This programme of works will have a positive impact on learning by delivering modern, reliable systems and equipment to our pupils and staff whilst making significant savings through the kinds of economies of scale possible with a large trust.”
