Westerton Primary School – Yorkshire - Sue Morley - Network Manager
Summer installation of 25 x interactive LED screens & Android tablets for collaborative learning:
Based on their experiences with NS Optimum on other IT projects, Westerton Primary School asked NS Optimum to offer advice on the upgrade of their interactive whiteboard systems. Following some research, a full survey of the school and a lengthy tender process, NS Optimum were awarded the contract to replace all 25 x classroom AV systems with Clevertouch Plus interactive AV systems with built in Android OS. This work was successfully completed on time during the 2015 summer holidays.
The school commented on their experience of NS Optimum
"The sales team, installers, trainer and technical support were very helpful and friendly.
I have no hesitation in recommending them."
"NS Optimum put together a great package and allowed us to trial the equipment first."
"Teachers enjoyed the training that was included in the package."
"The pricing was extremely competitive and the installation team were fantastic. The install finished on schedule and the team left the classrooms tidy. Before they left they tested all the equipment."
Myton School – Warwickshire - Tom Brocklehurst, Network Manager
NS Optimum started working with Myton School in 2012 when they installed the fibre optic & CAT6 structured data cable into the new classroom blocks. The work was carried out to a high standard with minimal disruption and therefore we invited NS Optimum back in 2013 to discuss the upgrade of the schools 900 workstation curriculum network to Windows 7 Professional & Server 2012 with Hyper-V along with Intel based SAN storage systems and a 10GB backbone.
A large part of the success of the project was, I am certain, down to the excellent technical resource that NS Optimum were able to provide. This was important during the planning phase & equally instrumental in ensuring timely completion. ...I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
