14. Avoid spending ‘too much’
• Large IT teams with many people managing complex, expensive and
over provisioned IT systems. Is this staffing cost sustainable?
Your IT
department
• These are no longer needed and the appeal of industry standardised
systems connecting to one cloud eco-system has never been more
prominent
Lots of proprietary
systems
• Large replication back-up systems are no longer needed with cloud
back-up
Data and storage
• Old style conventional teaching and discrete ICT are a thing of the
past – now is the time to review, challenge and change curriculum
delivery. More specialist subject lessons delivered remotely could
become a reality
