A textbook transformation

Department for Education modernises IT estate to enable staff to work closer with schools and colleges.

To enable staff to work more closely with the education sector, the Department for Education needed to change its technologies and approach to accessing data.

• More flexible working
• Improved user satisfaction and engagement

By equipping staff with mobile devices, they are freed up from the confines of the office and can work in the field with more schools and colleges. The project provides the building blocks to enable users to work more effectively alongside education bodies and support wider digitalisation initiatives.
