Case Study: School of Rock achieves streamlined cloud collaboration and easier franchise support with Cloud Sherpas

Google rocks the house for National Music Program

School of Rock, a rapidly growing music education franchise with more than 85 schools, needed a more flexible and easier-to-manage technology platform for its mobile, device-diverse workforce and franchise partners. Its legacy Microsoft environment, including hosted Exchange and SharePoint, was difficult to support across Macs, browsers, and remote locations, so the company turned to Cloud Sherpas and Google Apps for Work.

Cloud Sherpas led the migration to Google Apps for Work, Google Sites, and Chromebooks, including pilot testing, training, and rollout support. The new setup improved collaboration and intranet access, simplified support, and enabled self-service cloud use across schools. School of Rock reported around 30% savings on IT costs from leaving SharePoint, fewer trouble tickets, and faster onboarding for franchisees with nothing more than an internet connection.
