Adoptive for Schools

At Adoptive Technologies, we understand the specific challenges that schools face when it comes to managing and securing their IT environments. Many schools do not have the budget for an experienced IT staff member, so outsourcing is a beneficial way to obtain capability without the cost.

Our range of services has been designed to help schools overcome these obstacles efficiently and effectively by focusing on helping with people, process and technology. We also integrate and complement with any of your staff members to further support your technology.

With expertise in cloud management, information security and support, we aim to create safe, reliable, and productive digital environments for teaching staff, students and administrators.
