Case Study: Dubai International School achieves secure, cloud-based collaboration and streamlined IT with Microsoft Azure

School in the heart of Dubai establishes innovative learning programs

Dubai International School, a privately owned Dubai school serving about 5,000 students and 400 faculty across two campuses, needed a modern, cost‑effective IT platform to support more collaborative and innovative learning. Staff and students struggled with the existing email setup (Google with Outlook) and the school wanted an infrastructure that would simplify communication, improve security, and enable flexible, location‑independent learning.

The school moved to cloud‑based Microsoft Office 365 with Azure Active Directory and Intune, deploying device management across more than 3,000 tablets to enforce PINs and jailbreak detection and to protect data. The change delivered a world‑class IT infrastructure with easier sharing and collaboration, stronger device security, streamlined IT overheads, and better remote teaching and learning experiences.
