Schools Resellers: On your marks…..

It’s May half-term already, and as all those IT companies who provide services to schools will know, that means that in just a few weeks time the silly season will begin!

Because, naturally enough, to avoid disruption to lessons and school life, every school will want their network projects carried out during the 6-8 weeks of the school summer holidays.

If you’re a reseller who specialises in the schools sector, the pressure is really on during those weeks of the year, and often resources will be stretched to breaking point. In particular, there tend to be a lack of people with the combination of technical, commercial and project management skills that are needed to bring these types of projects to successful completion on time and on budget. 

Projects that over-run, under-deliver or cause disruption to school life in September can be costly for resellers, who risk not only reputational damage but significant loss of income if customers perceive that projects haven’t gone according to plan.

That is why Virtuoso Consultancy now provides resellers and MSPs with expert project management services. We can step in at times of peak workload and manage technically, commercially and politically complex IT projects, to time and budget, on your behalf.

Being from a reseller background, with extensive experience in successful project delivery to both schools and SMBs, we offer a safe pair of hands who understands the commercial, operational, political and technical complexities of delivering these projects, and as such we are up to speed almost immediately, minimising your time investment.

We are adept at dealing with and co-ordinating network engineers, in-house ICT Managers, the school’s senior leadership team, the sales and engineering departments at the reseller and numerous third parties to deliver IT projects successfully and on-time. We also offer the option to “white label” ourselves as a member of your team.

From relatively simple network upgrades, through to the complete replacement of all aspects of the IT infrastructure at one of the UK’s most prestigious Independent Schools, our team have extensive experience in planning, managing, mitigating risk and successfully delivering network projects in both schools and SMB’s.
