AdEPT Technology Group PLC
("AdEPT" or the "Company")
In support of the Department for Education, AdEPT has digitally
enabled 500+ schools as part of the DfE's initiative to cloud
enable schools to help them with remote education.
25 January: for immediate release
AdEPT Press Release
With its mission of 'uniting technology, inspiring people',
AdEPT Technology Group today announces a milestone in its
partnership with Google's G Suite for Education and Microsoft's
Office 365 Education with over 500 schools now being set up with a
digital education platform.
Relevance for investors
AdEPT Technology Group is on course to win more business in the
education sector as it continues its strategic partnership with
Google for Education and Microsoft 365 for Education.
Responding to significant market demand, the partnerships enable
AdEPT to win incremental cloud business - helping the Group to
further support the education market place which is expected to
further grow to GBP96.5 billion in 2022/23 (Source: HM Treasury
policy paper 4 (th) Sept 2019).
MD of AdEPT Education, David Bealing, said: "AdEPT Education is
one of a limited number of accredited suppliers in the country that
advise, fulfil and provide services for Google and Microsoft
education platforms, alongside available upgrade paths."
What is the DfE cloud digital platform?
AdEPT Education is the expert enabler that provides schools and
multi-academy trusts with digital educational platforms at scale
that are funded by the DfE.
Digital Educational Platforms comprise cloud applications and
tools for the education sector. They are used by teachers,
administrative staff and students - and are designed specifically
to accelerate digital teaching and learning for schools. A typical
DEP contains productivity software, such as those for word
processing, spreadsheets and presentations - as well as email and
calendar tools. These standard applications are bolstered with
secure and safe software for education in addition to the virtual
whiteboards; planning, assignment, marking and collaboration tools;
and software to run lessons by live video as well as in-class
lessons.
What our customers say
Louise Ritchie MA(Ed), headteacher at London's Soho Parish
School , said:
"What I've really valued about working with AdEPT Education
through this is the way the communications are all joined up. I
always know I can go to the team and get a real human being, with a
straight answer."
Soho Parish chose the Google G Suite for Education platform,
setting it up with AdEPT Education's help. She added: "AdEPT
Education gave us our tutorial and have been on hand for support
round the clock, and it really is about the little things - for
example, I can see the children logging on, and that they're saying
hello to teachers and each other. It fosters independence but at
the same time is as close to a classroom as can be."
Doncaster-based Sunnyfields Primary School also worked with
AdEPT Education to take advantage of the DfE programme, choosing
the Microsoft 365 Education platform.
Headteacher Dave Richardson said: "The test of a good technology
partner is the support. It's no good having a company set you up on
something before disappearing and leaving you to it.
"With AdEPT Education, we got precisely the opposite. They're
proactive and forward-thinking - and always focused on helping me
achieve my crazy ideas.
"And most importantly of all, when I ring them for help, I get
straight through. The value of this cannot be overstated - it's
crucial to schools, now more than ever."
Future opportunities?
Google's G Suite for Education and Microsoft's Office 365
Education partnership allows AdEPT to roll out digital education
platforms as well as additional upsell services such as managed
support contracts, migration, maintenance and project work on these
cloud platforms. AdEPT Education is also ideally positioned to
offer user training to teachers and technical users of these
platforms to help further support them thought the pandemic,
lockdown measures, and beyond.
