Shebbear College
David Balman, IT Manager
“In keeping with all schools in today's society, we rely on our Internet connection for everything from e-mail invoices to interactive learning resources.
Exa Networks provide us with an excellent service and are one of the few ISPs who were able to offer us a complete package. Their content filtering system has saved us a great deal of money compared to other similar products.
The service has been exemplary and the staff are both knowledgeable and extremely easy to contact. I cannot recommend Exa Networks highly enough.”
Datacable ICT Support
David Trimble, Education Support Manager
“We work with Exa at several schools in Bradford and have found the level of service and support excellent. Their level of knowledge is very good and respond quickly to any problems.
Our main concerns regarding Broadband are speed, filtering and NEN connectivity and Exa meet all of these.”
Lawnswood School
Noel Reynolds, IT Manager
“Like all schools in the Leeds area Lawnswood was forced to go down the route of using the LEA for connectivity, we found this to be very slow and unreliable and as a technology school with over 1500 pupils this was not acceptable. We wanted Lawnswood to be at the forefront of technology and to do this we needed a high speed and reliable Internet Connection. Eventually we found that we could actually leave the Leeds Learning net and source our own Internet connectivity, this is when I contacted Matt and Mark at EXA.
I have had an excellent relationship with these guy's for many years now, I was with Legend before they were taken over, and moved as soon as possible to EXA. I currently have 2 load balanced ADSL connections and a 2mb leased line. I also use an EXO XL for the firewall and content filtering on the box. EXA also have control of my domains, they are quite unique as they can offer a complete package.
When my old ISP was taken over I found that I had a fault with my system, I couldn't get a response from them, upon phoning EXA I had an engineer on-site within half an hour.”
Oakbank School, Bradford
Kevin Allack, Assistant Head Teacher
“We have had numerous problems with our current supplier and felt that to develop the services we offer our staff and students (at best value), we needed to change ISP.
We put our connectivity solution up for tender to various providers and EXA became our preferred partner.
EXA have considerable experience working with schools infrastructure and came highly recommended. They are flexible enough to adapt to changing requirements, offer a competitive SLA and are happy to work with Network Box, our current firewall providers. We decided to sign a new 3 year contract with them.
All through these changes, we were very concerned that our plans were acceptable to the DFE, but after talks with the DFE, we found that it was not difficult to change providers, provided that certain criteria were met - for example connection to the NEN when required. EXA have taken the trouble to ensure that these issues were resolved and so we were happy to change.”
