Introduction The challenge
Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) is an
independent State agency responsible for the
promotion of quality, integrity and accountability in
education and training services in Ireland. Established
in 2012, resulting from the amalgamation of
four state agencies, QQI regulates the quality of
programmes offered by schools, colleges, further and
higher education and training institutions. Its role
is to promote, maintain and develop the National
Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) in Ireland,
ensuring excellence across the board and upholding
a positive, high-quality education and training
experience to native and international learners. QQI has an intranet for its internal data, accessed by
around 90 members of staff.
It also hosts a separate production site for its line of
business services, connecting to over 4,000 remote
customers. QQI’s legacy datacentre and terrestrial
equipment reached the end of their lifespan. Given
the urgency of the requirements of amalgamation,
QQI decided it was appropriate and expedient
to move to Microsoft’s Azure (Infrastructure As A
Service), and also to the Office 365 platform as part
of a business plan to move data management where
needed to a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. n
