Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust (FMAT) is an educational charity established in 2014. The Trust currently operates four senior schools and a sixth form, educating 4,000 students across the West Midlands.
Novatia has worked with the Trust Leadership Team for over eight years, providing ICT-related professional services to assist the Trust in developing and implementing its ICT strategy. Novatia has provided ICT-focused consultancy contracts providing management coaching, CPD, advice, audits, strategies, specifications, procurements, contract management, and project management services.
Novatia was initially appointed to a single project in May 2017 to audit the ICT use and quality across the Trust’s schools. The quality outcomes from that and subsequent projects have resulted in a long-term partnership. Novatia has since delivered 14 projects to the Trust and continues to support them.
Our FMAT consultancy scopes have included:
ICT audit
ICT vision and strategy
ICT Strategy Group facilitation
ICT outsourcing business case
ICT managed service specification and procurement
ICT contract performance review
Contract management coaching
MS 365 structure
MS Teams migration project management
Management Information System (MIS) procurement
MIS Migration Project Management
Digital strategy
AI strategy
Every contract has been completed on time and on budget.
Eight years, fourteen projects, every one delivered on time and on budget. The Trust's sustained investment in the partnership is itself the strongest endorsement of Novatia's consultancy service.
