How Connect Supports Multi-Academy Trusts

Individual School Networks

Local Active Directory, Local MIS, Single or Trust Cloud Tenancy
Blend of MIS’s and Networks

Local or Trust Active Directory, Single or Trust Tenancy, Mixture of MIS’s
Serverless Network

Cloud MIS, Single or Trust Cloud Tenancy, No Active Directory
Flexibility

Academies often use different systems. It might be the MIS differs or some schools use Microsoft while others use Google. Connect can work with whatever mix of systems the Trust has, growing and adapting as you do.
Efficiency

The ability to manage consistent processes across a Trust improves confidence in the outcomes, but also allows scarce IT resources to support several Academies knowing that the tasks are managed in the same way.
Visibility

Connect allows a central IT team to manage all the Academies centrally. This enables you to support the Academies quickly, make any changes centrally and avoid any interruptions to teaching and learning.
Serverless

Serverless IT could be the long term solution for Academy Trusts to improve flexibility, effeciency and cost saving. Locker’s centrally managed cloud version of Connect can form a key part of your Trust’s IT strategy.
