For business managers and bursars weighing up ongoing IT support, a server or Wi-Fi refresh, or a cyber-security uplift — one short brief gets you a clear scope and a no-obligation quote from an MSP that works only with non-government schools.
Delivered by our partnered MSP, an Australian managed-service provider that works only with independent, Catholic and faith-based schools. No obligation to proceed.
Request your quote About 3 minutes · No cost · Your brief goes to one accredited partner, not a lead pool.You're not a network engineer, but you're the one who signs off the support contract, justifies the server replacement, and explains to the Board why the Wi-Fi drops out during exams. Quotes arrive in different shapes, every provider scopes the job differently, and comparing them fairly is almost impossible.
Meanwhile the break-fix calls keep coming, the renewal date is approaching, and "just get three quotes" turns into three weeks of chasing vendors who don't understand how a school actually runs — term calendars, exam periods, child-safety obligations and all.
The 30 June financial year-end is weeks away, next year's budgets are being set now, and the cyber-security expectations on schools — from insurers, auditors and the families who trust you with their children's data — keep climbing. Decisions made this month shape what your IT costs, and what it protects, for the whole year.
Every quote comes back as a plain-English scope you can take straight to your Business Committee or Board — not a parts list.
Helpdesk for staff and students, monitoring, patching, backup and day-to-day support — priced for the way your school actually runs, not a generic seat count.
Coverage that holds up in full classrooms and exam halls: switching, wireless and the cabling plan behind it.
Email security, endpoint protection, MFA, backups you can actually restore, and the documentation insurers and auditors ask for.
Server and cloud migrations, Windows Server upgrades, classroom and AV refreshes — scoped, staged and costed before you commit.
Government/state schools with centralised IT procurement, or anyone wanting break-fix only with no ongoing support.
Managed IT — 180 staff, 1,400 students, 3 campuses. Unlimited remote helpdesk (7am–5pm AEST), 24/7 monitoring, monthly patching, daily backup with quarterly restore tests, Microsoft 365 and Intune management.
Network — refresh of core switching at the senior campus; Wi-Fi survey across all three sites.
Project (optional, staged) — Windows Server 2019 → 2025 migration, scheduled across the summer break.
You'll get an indicative monthly figure, the project quoted separately, and assumptions and exclusions listed in full.
Illustrative example. Your scope and figures reflect your school's size, sites and priorities.
You send one short brief through the form below. KNM Labs passes it to our partnered MSP — an accredited, education-specialist delivery partner — who scopes the work and prepares your quote. They work exclusively with non-government schools across Australia, so the scope reflects how schools really run. Your brief goes to that one partner only. It's never sold to a lead pool or shared more widely.
No. The quote and the scoping conversation are free, and there's no obligation to proceed. You're gathering information for a decision, not signing anything.
Business managers, bursars and operations leads at independent, Catholic and faith-based schools who want managed IT, a specific project, or both — scoped clearly enough to take to a Board.
Our partnered MSP — an Australian provider that works only with non-government schools. KNM Labs handles the introduction; they scope, quote and deliver.
Within one business day. If your timing is tight — a renewal date or an end-of-financial-year decision — say so in the brief and it'll be prioritised.
You can. The difference is comparability: one structured brief returns a scope built the way schools actually run, so you're not translating three different quote formats yourself.
By email, as a plain-English scope summary you can forward to your Business Committee or Board. A short call to confirm details usually comes first.
Neither. Submitting the form isn't a subscription, and your details aren't added to a marketing list or sold. They go to the one delivery partner so they can prepare your quote.
Your brief goes only to our partnered MSP, with your consent, to prepare your quote. It isn't sold or shared more broadly, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any time.
One short brief. A clear, comparable quote from an education-specialist MSP. No cost, no obligation.
