Dumfries and Galloway College has partnered with David Allen IT to deliver a transformative digital experience for students and staff by adopting a fully cloud-based technology infrastructure.
The collaboration has modernised the college’s IT environment, embracing cutting-edge Microsoft technologies to enhance productivity, security and user experience across the institution.
