Cloud & productivity for education

Cloud tools that make the school day easier.

Staff should be able to find what they need, work together and get on with teaching. RoarTech helps schools and trusts bring their cloud tools, data and support into one manageable setup.

Start with the school day

Make the everyday tasks feel simple.

Cloud is most useful when staff can collaborate, find files and print without having to think about the technology behind it.

Work together

Bring email, shared documents and communication into a clear way of working for teaching and administration.

  • Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive
  • Google Workspace and shared resources
  • Access that matches staff roles

Find the right files

Organise shared storage around how your school actually uses it. Where helpful, we can assess familiar drive-style access as you move away from servers.

  • Clear folders and permissions
  • Practical file migration
  • Guidance for staff

Keep printing practical

Review cloud printing options for classrooms and offices, including mixed devices, central management and secure release where needed.

  • Printing across sites
  • Fewer local dependencies
  • Appropriate access controls
Choose and manage the right tools

Microsoft, Google and the licences around them.

We work with the platforms schools already rely on, then make sure the accounts, settings and subscriptions serve the people using them.

Microsoft 365 for Education

Set up and support email, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive with an understandable structure for users, groups and shared information.

Google Workspace for Education

Keep accounts, communication and shared resources organised across a school or trust, with sensible sharing and administration controls.

Licensing that fits

Review education plans, add-ons and usage so you can see what is needed, what is being used and where there may be duplication.

Change without losing the school day

A cloud move needs a school plan.

Whether you are replacing on-site servers, changing platforms or bringing several schools together, the route matters as much as the destination.

We can move email, files and services in stages, keeping access, timing and staff communication in view. A mixed local and cloud setup can be supported while the transition is under way.

The foundations behind the tools

Reliable cloud takes more than an account.

We look after the technical decisions that help services stay useful and manageable as your needs change.

01

Azure

Setup, integration and management for services that need Microsoft Azure.

02

Hosting

Cloud hosting options chosen for the systems your school uses.

03

Hybrid systems

Practical connections between cloud services and what remains on site.

04

Access & security

Permissions, configuration and review shaped around school needs.

05

Trust-wide design

Consistent accounts and controls where several schools work together.

Support beyond launch day

One school or several sites, we keep improving.

Cloud needs to work alongside devices, connectivity, safeguarding and day-to-day support. We can help review the whole environment as your school or trust changes.

For a single school

A manageable setup that gives staff clear access and leaves room for future needs.

For a growing trust

Shared approaches to accounts, files and controls, with flexibility for each school.

For the people using it

Support and guidance that helps staff use the tools with confidence.

For the next stage

Reviews of usage, cost and performance so the environment keeps pace with your plans.

From a trust we support
“Developing our SharePoint and communication areas has greatly increased our efficiency in working, sharing, and collaborating online.”
