Case Study: Dubai International School achieves flexible, secure collaboration with Microsoft Office 365 and Azure Active Directory

School in the heart of Dubai establishes innovative learning programs

Dubai International School, a large educational institution with 5,000 students, needed to overhaul its outdated IT infrastructure to support innovative and collaborative learning. The school was facing challenges with its existing email setup and sought a modern, cost-effective solution. They partnered with Microsoft to implement cloud-based services, including Office 365 and Azure Active Directory, to meet their goals.

Microsoft provided a comprehensive solution that established a world-class IT environment. The implementation dramatically improved communications, security, and remote collaboration for students and faculty, streamlining IT overhead. A key measurable impact was the enhanced management of over 3,000 tablets through security policies like PIN lock and jailbreak detection. This has given the school greater flexibility in driving its educational objectives forward.
