Northampton School for Girls

Focus Group gives this educational setting a boost thanks to the installation of an easy-to-manage network.

About Northampton School for Girls (NSG)

Northampton School for Girls is an ambitious and thriving school, committed to providing a broad, modern, enriching and inspiring education to around 1,600 students aged 11-18 years.

The Challenge

The legacy IT infrastructure across the school was having a detrimental impact on operations with frequent switches failures and telephony ‘drop-outs.’ NSG needed mission-critical ICT services implemented on a scalable, easy-to-manage 10 Gb network.

The Solution

Focus Group proposed a cloud-managed Cisco Meraki 10 Gb network, giving NSG real-time troubleshooting tools and zero touch provisioning plus visibility and control over thousands of ports.

The Results

As well as delivering high speed connectivity in a reliable and collaborative environment, Focus Group were also able to help the school take advantage of a three-year interest-free Cisco Capital Easy Lease deal to avoid major up-front costs.

"From the outset, it was clear that Focus Group were committed to helping the school find the best resolution. Their technical know-how was, without question, the best we had encountered and they were also mindful of the unique operating requirements of a modern education situation"
