Case Study: SchoolFox achieves GDPR-compliant school communication with Exoscale from A1 Digital

Modern school communication with secure data in the cloud

SchoolFox, a SaaS start-up and a leading provider of school communication tools in the DACH region, faced the challenge of ensuring its messenger app for teachers and parents was fully GDPR-compliant. The company needed a secure cloud solution that could reliably handle sensitive student data and serve as a trusted IT partner for public schools and authorities, which led them to partner with vendor A1 Digital and use their Exoscale cloud platform.

The solution from A1 Digital involved migrating SchoolFox's customer data to the Exoscale cloud, which stores data in European data centers to ensure GDPR compliance. This provided a powerful competitive advantage, built trust with customers, and controlled costs. The measurable impact was significant, with the service achieving 45% market penetration in schools in Lower Austria just a few months after launch.
