Solutions at a glance<\/h2>\n

Objective<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/span>Colchester Institute implemented an LMS system in order to provide access to resources and course information.They use a third-party  plugin to host their moodle to fulfill the school’s ambition of ensuring that all students achieve the best possible results they can. But unfortunately, Server hardware often has issues. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Colchester institute used a third party to integrate with their moodle. When server hardware has issues, the institute has server problems, the only way to fix the problem is to copy over their moodle from scratch due to their third party application having no \u2018server backup\u2019. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Remove the worried feeling of a possible \u201cDown-server\u201d event taking place. Thus letting the institute employees focus more on their staff and students. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/span>Overt software provides a solution by collaborating with Colchester Institute to migrate their moodle hosting and deploy its <\/span>LMS<\/span><\/a> within the Overt software solution\u2019s cloud. Not to mention, Overt software solution is able to help provide any solution when help is needed.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Implementing <\/span>Server level backup<\/span><\/a> allows Colchester Institute\u2019s administrators to save everything associated with a moodle site, including all content and settings. Thus, having and using backups to restore your site to the state it was in when the backup is made. Thus, reduce the amount of lost information if an unwanted case of problems takes place.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Collaborating with Colchester Institute and providing \u201cSimple moodle maintenance\u201d. In the process of working together, Overt software solution and Colchester Institute develop great communication. Colchester Institute can rest easy knowing that their VLE Technical Support issues will be solved within our <\/span>Technical Support<\/span><\/a> SLAs.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Challange<\/h2>\n

Once your organisation has decided to implement a learning management system (LMS), the next big question is whether to host it yourself or work with a Moodle hosting services partner.<\/span>  Many factors determine whether to keep an LMS implementation in-house or to outsource it to a hosted provider. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Considering the time, budget, and expertise necessary for a successful implementation, you’ll see that outsourcing has many advantages.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

In Colchester Institute’s case, they started implementing its Moodle LMS system by hosting it using a third-party provider. At first, everything was going smoothly, but as their learning institute continued to grow, managing their Moodle was starting to be very challenging for the institute. One of their major problems was that their third-party provider did not have an automatic “server backups”. Thus, when the institute’s server experienced a sudden “Downtime” or other issues, the only way to fix it is to start over from scratch and copy over their Moodle data.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n

Working with a Hosted Moodle provider means your organisation will benefit from their expertise. These experts can help recommend plugins, ensure your site meets regulations such as GDPR and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They’re also up-to-date on emerging trends in the industry\u2014allowing your organisation to take advantage of cutting-edge technology.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Updating software can be a challenge, but if you get in touch with Overt software solutions we can help you out. We offer unlimited support options so you can contact us for help with anything from Moodle basic instructions and queries to infrastructure and integrations. You\u2019ll never have to worry about running out of support hours!<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Benefits<\/h2>\n

While Colchester Institute may be able to find comparable security features on its own, it might not want to pay extra for them or spend time learning about them. However, such as the Colchester Institute, which happens to be a large educational institute, <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

it’s a good idea for them to rely on security services.<\/span>  <\/span>By collaborating with Overt software solution, Colchester Institute gained the following benefits;<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
