Grove House Primary School – Bradford, West Yorkshire
Case Study for the implementation of structured
LAN, WLAN & Microsoft Server 2008 Solution in a Primary School
Introduction:
This case study aims to describe the benefits of a primary school implementing a structured and well-designed LAN, WLAN and Microsoft Server 2008 Solution, and highlight why DIS should be considered and chosen as a long term partner to deliver these solutions.
The Partners:

DIS has substantial Installation experience spanning some 25 years. With our own in house design and Engineering teams working on a daily basis within the Commercial, Retail, Manufacturing, Foods, Education, Health, Local Government, Home Office and Ministry of Defence Sectors.
DIS have held ISO9001.2008 Quality Management System accreditation since 1997.
Grove House School:
Grove House School is a community primary school located in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The school has around 453 pupils aged between 3 - 11.
The Problems:
Even though the pupils are relatively young, the school wished to offer them a comprehensive education in IT skills. This required an IT system solution which needed technical skills beyond the school management’s capabilities.
The Solution:
DIS developed a system that met the school’s needs, in a cost effective manner that did not require an in-house IT manager and the cost implication that would have incurred. As IT becomes an increasingly important part of the school curriculum, the system development and design can meet the children’s’ needs and the expectations of parents.
The Outcome:
The school now has an IT system that is reliable and secure. DIS supply technical support to the staff, access to the latest developments in IT (and expert recommendations on them), quick diagnosis and solutions to problems with good internet access for research and project work.
"I have been really pleased with the service my school has received from DIS. Their support before, during and after purchasing of the new ICT suite and server along with the wireless access in school has proven to be extremely professional at all times and good value for money. I would recommend them to any school for ICT support and development work."
