Ramesys - Good Managed Service Or Should They Stick To Flogging Software?

[Richie1972]

I've heard rumours that the combined Blackburn-With-Darwen/Bolton BSF bid may well be awarded to Ramesys.
Anyone got any experience of them as a managed IT provider? We only use them for purchasing licences at the moment.
I've heard that we are being taken over as early as this November, so I've probably not got that much longer to find another job (as a network manager there is no place for us in schools once IT is outsourced )

I've heard nothing about that.... not even a sniff of a rumour

[Richie1972]

Seems that it was just a rumour.... many of which keep floating around. Having to wait now until I DO get told something... hopefully sooner rather than later - and with a basis of truth in it, cos I've been stressing out about whether I even have any future in a school!!!

My colleague is leaving to head a a team for Ramesys in Manachester where apparently they have the contract for all school support. So I suppose for them it makes sence to get as many contracts in the region.

RAMESYS have won

Manchester
Nottingham
Tameside
Waltham Forest
Westminster

But as per normal is all secret hush hush and we never hear from a TUPED member again

we never hear from a TUPED member again

I wonder how they dispose of all the bodies



On a serious note, i imagine it's a horrible horrible long legal wordy nightmare
