DEVON and SOMERSET, UK – Following reports that SCOMIS has served notice to maintained schools regarding the cessation of its ICT support services, many schools across Devon and Somerset are now reviewing their technology provision and seeking alternative support providers.


Soltech IT, which has worked alongside and with SCOMIS for the last two decades, has confirmed it has the capacity and expertise to support schools affected by the changes.


Already supporting schools across Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Bristol and Gloucestershire, Soltech IT has seen a significant increase in enquiries from schools seeking a trusted and experienced ICT partner ahead of the new academic year.


"We understand that any change in ICT provision can create uncertainty for schools," said Richard Sheppard, Managing Director at Soltech IT. "Our priority is to ensure schools experience a smooth transition while benefiting from improved services, proactive support and opportunities to reduce costs at a time when budgets remain under pressure."


Soltech IT has built its reputation on helping schools achieve more with limited budgets through a combination of technical expertise, strategic planning, grant funding assistance and innovative support services. The company currently supports schools across multiple local authority areas and academy trusts, helping leaders improve technology outcomes whilst reducing expenditure.


More Than Traditional ICT Support


Unlike many ICT providers, Soltech IT offers schools a range of additional services designed to support teaching, learning and financial sustainability, including:


  • FREE Curriculum and STEM loan resources for schools
  • FREE Grant funding identification and application support
  • FREE Comprehensive five-year ICT development and strategic planning reports
  • FREE Dedicated bursar and procurement services that help schools identify operational savings
  • FREE Donations and community support initiatives for schools
  • Curriculum technology support and staff development
  • Flexible support packages tailored to individual school requirements
  • Apple, Google, Microsoft and cloud technology expertise
  • Cyber security, broadband, telephony and safeguarding technology solutions


The company estimates that schools can achieve significant annual savings through its specialist bursar and cost-reduction services, with some smaller primary schools saving thousands of pounds per year through procurement efficiencies and budget reviews.


Supporting Schools Through Transition


With many schools now entering procurement and tender processes, Soltech IT is offering free budget reducing consultations, ICT reviews and transition planning support to schools wishing to explore their options.


The company has already begun working with schools transitioning from existing arrangements with SCOMIS and is helping leadership teams review their current infrastructure, support requirements and future technology strategies.


"Our message to schools is simple," Managing Director, Richard Sheppard added. "This is an opportunity not only to replace an ICT provider but to improve service levels, reduce costs and create a long-term technology strategy that supports educational outcomes."


Schools interested in discussing ICT support options can contact Soltech IT for a free, no-obligation consultation and technology review.
