2 CONTENTS What is Freedom? Focus on Learning Keeping it Simple Freedom Elements Freedom Access Freedom Services Freedom... a Cloud Based solution for education! High quality ICT is essential in a 21st Century education organisation. Whether a single school or a group of schools, ICT needs to simply work, first time, every time. ICT needs to be agile, powerful and deliver exceptional value for money. Freedom is the answer.

3 What is Freedom? Freedom enables you to choose from a set of services to support your organisation as it develops and grows. It is a true Cloud Based solution for education. Power and simplicity Freedom is more than a traditional on-premise or outsourced ICT solution, it is more than a managed service; Freedom is a full suite of ICT services that are delivered from and managed within the Cloud. What works for you Freedom supports many models of ICT design, from a completely server-less school to a hybrid model where services are balanced between on premise and in the cloud. Freedom offers greater choice, lowers costs, increases reliability and reduces management overheads, freeing educators to focus on what they are best at, teaching and learning. Choice and flexibility Freedom provides everything you need to experience ICT as a service. We will work with you to develop a long term and sustainable ICT strategy taking advantage of the latest technology developments

4 Focus on Learning With Freedom you can forget about having to manage an ever-growing server infrastructure. Freedom is a true Cloud based system. Secure and managed We move the management, refresh and development of the infrastructure into the Cloud for you and it then becomes our responsibility not yours. We will support your critical backup and restore services in a secure and compliant way. We can work with your existing onsite staff or completely manage the solution for you. Agility, flexibility and growth Freedom can scale from supporting a small number of users to supporting a very large organisation; from a single Free School in temporary accommodation, to a geographically dispersed federation of academies, or other groups with many thousands of users. Freedom embraces web technologies to support social media and enables the sharing of knowledge in innovative and new ways. Freedom brings together the best of the traditional network environment with the exciting possibilities of the web and will allow you to achieve a balance between capital and revenue funding

5 Keeping it Simple Freedom is provided in a series of simple to understand, simple to use building blocks. You can choose to implement parts of the Freedom suite or work with us to implement a leading edge fully Cloud based ICT service. Whether you are responsible for one school, thirty schools or more, the Freedom approach allows you to ensure that each time a new service is deployed or upgraded, it works first time every time. Total cost of ownership is known in advance and can be tuned according to your needs. Freedom in Practice Using Freedom you can create and run your ICT infrastructure in the Cloud, ensuring that when the students enter the building on day one, the ICT is there ready to support teaching and learning, with teaching materials prepared and staff fully trained. Connectivity and devices All you need is connectivity and devices and your ICT service will be fully accessible from anywhere, in a way that you have never experienced before

6 Freedom Elements Freedom has two key components, Freedom Access and Freedom Services. Freedom Access provides Learning Platform functionality, whilst Freedom Services provides everything you need to create and run a virtual network, using only Cloud based principles. Freedom can include popular services from Microsoft or Google, as well as providing bespoke functionality that we can create just for you. Freedom Services can provide a complete solution or you can buy specific elements to support and supplement your existing systems. We can work with you on creating a completely server-less school or we can create a hybrid environment where we host and look after some of the services you need in our Cloud, whilst you retain some services onsite. We can also work with you to create a bespoke plan that moves services into the Freedom Cloud as hardware needs to be replaced. We can also work with you to make the costs for Freedom Services fit you revenue budget, avoiding the need for capital injections every few years
