Integy Expands Managed IT Services for Braunton Academy

INTEGY Proud to Extend Managed IT Services Partnership with Braunton Academy

INTEGY is delighted to announce the extension of our partnership with Braunton Academy for a further two-year period, continuing our delivery of a comprehensive fully managed IT services solution tailored to the education sector.

The renewal is a strong endorsement of the trust and results we've built together over the last two years. From network management to cybersecurity and user support, INTEGY has become a key technology partner for the Academy — and we’re incredibly proud to continue the journey.

"We're thrilled to renew with Braunton Academy for another two years,” says Ryan Jewell, Director at INTEGY. “It’s a great example of how strong, proactive service builds long-term trust. We’re not just managing systems — we’re supporting teachers, staff, and students with the technology they need to succeed every day.”

Delivering Modern Managed Services in Education

For schools and academies, having reliable, secure, and responsive IT is no longer a luxury — it’s essential. Braunton Academy’s leadership team recognised this and selected INTEGY as their managed services partner to provide exactly that.

Over the last two years, INTEGY has delivered:

End-to-end IT support for teachers, admin teams, and students
Proactive device and endpoint management
Modern cybersecurity through Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Microsoft 365 platform optimisation and reporting
Reactive service desk support with fast response times
Network management and infrastructure oversight

From everyday classroom devices to back-office systems and safeguarding-critical cybersecurity, INTEGY handles it all — so the Academy can focus on delivering exceptional education.

Supporting Growth and Transformation at Braunton Academy

It has been especially rewarding to support Braunton Academy not just operationally, but also through a period of exciting growth and transformation. During our time as their trusted IT partner, we’ve seen the Academy evolve — from the commissioning of brand-new classrooms in the summer of 2024, to the installation of a new, high-performance network infrastructure.

Together, we have:

Rolled out Windows 11 across the school — 12 months ahead of schedule
Deployed cutting-edge Dell laptops to staff and students
Built a future-ready network to support modern teaching and learning methods

This kind of progress is a testament to what can be achieved when technology, vision, and trusted partnership come together. Braunton Academy is not just keeping pace — it’s setting the standard for how schools can deliver digital learning environments that are resilient, inclusive, and ready for the future.

A Scalable Model for Schools, Trusts, and the Wider Public Sector

While every school is unique, the foundations of INTEGY’s managed services model are consistent and proven. At the heart of our service are three core offerings that we’ve honed across sectors — from education to healthcare and local government:

M365 Reporting – Actionable insights and visibility into user activity, licensing, security posture, and storage across the Microsoft 365 platform
Endpoint Assurance – Proactive monitoring and management of devices, patching, compliance, and performance
Defender React – Microsoft Defender configuration, monitoring, and incident response to provide enterprise-grade security

These services are fully scalable to suit individual schools, multi-academy trusts, and broader public sector organisations — making them ideal for IT teams looking to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and get more from Microsoft 365 investments.

Looking Ahead

As we enter this new phase of the partnership, INTEGY remains committed to delivering innovative, secure, and responsive IT services to Braunton Academy — and to other education settings across the UK.

If your school, trust, or college is looking to modernise IT, improve cybersecurity, or reduce the pressure on internal teams, we’d love to talk.

Let’s build something exceptional — together.

Empowering Innovation Through Modern IT: A Case Study

December 16, 2024

At INTEGY, we’re passionate about enabling organisations to embrace the future of work, especially when innovation and agility are at the heart of their mission. Recently, we had the privilege of supporting a client whose business serves as a launchpad for startups, providing the technology and equipment needed to kickstart their journey. The Challenge: Outdated IT for a Growing Organisation Our client’s IT infrastructure was a traditional setup, with user accounts and devices tightly bound to Active Directory. This configuration required devices to maintain network connectivity to on-premises servers, creating operational limitations. With the facility expanding to three separate locations, this approach no longer supported their need for flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. Startups thrive on speed and adaptability, and their IT systems needed to reflect those principles. The reliance on traditional IT was slowing them down, creating unnecessary overhead, and limiting their ability to provide the seamless experience their customers expected. The Solution: A Cloud-Native Transformation We transformed their IT environment into a modern, cloud-native setup: Entra ID for Identity Management Every device is now joined to Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), shifting identity management to the cloud. This eliminates the need for on-premises servers, offering secure access from anywhere. Intune for Device Management Devices are now managed through Microsoft Intune, enabling streamlined policy enforcement, application deployment, and security updates, all delivered from the cloud. Enhanced Security with Zero Trust Principles We implemented a Zero Trust security model, ensuring that devices and users are authenticated and compliant before accessing resources. Defender for Endpoint provides enhanced threat protection and visibility across their environment. Simplified User Experience By decoupling devices from on-premises dependencies, we empowered their users to work from any location with a secure, seamless experience. Scalability and Agility With their new cloud-native IT framework, our client is no longer constrained by physical infrastructure. They can now scale operations effortlessly as they open new locations and onboard new startups. The Results: Flexibility, Efficiency, and Growth The move to a cloud-native configuration has been a game-changer for our client. They’ve gained: Operational Efficiency : IT management is simpler and faster, reducing administrative overhead. Improved User Experience : Users now enjoy consistent and reliable access to systems, regardless of location. Scalability : Expansion to new sites no longer requires complex IT overhauls. Security : Advanced cloud security tools ensure their data and devices remain protected. By embracing modern IT, our client is better positioned to serve their customers and focus on what matters most: empowering innovation for startups. Helping You Move Forward If your organisation is grappling with the limitations of traditional IT and looking to make the leap to a cloud-native future, we’re here to help. Let’s transform your IT and unlock your potential.
