About Pexica

Pexica Cloud and IT Services is the trading name of Phil Broughton. Phil spent 2005 until 2017 working in various IT roles in a secondary school in South West London. He began in an IT technician role; maintaining computers, looking after the network and running the IT helpdesk. After almost four years he moved into a new role that involved teaching students and teachers in IT, managing the website and researching learning technologies.

During that period the school began to use Google Apps for Education (now known as Google Workspace for Education). He played a pivotal role in this huge change. He helped staff members (using Microsoft products stored on the school network, individual computers and USB memory sticks) migrate to Google apps and cloud storage. He saw the many benefits of this system and embraced it - eventually buying a Google Pixel Chromebook and setting himself the challenge of working entirely in the cloud. Phil also became involved in producing the school magazine and newsletters. As well as creating graphics for these publications he also produced them for the digital signage screens that were installed around the building.

He completed his lengthy spell at the school in the role of Data Manager at a time when the school moved their management information system from SIMS to Progresso. Again, this meant shifting from a system that was installed in the school for almost two decades to a relatively new cloud-based system. In July 2017 Phil left the school to move back north with his family and to begin employing all these skills in his own venture.
