[sims] Looking for a SIMS Expert/Consultancy

[Pete88]

Hi All,

 

 

I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a SIMS expert, support company or consultancy with expertise in using and managing data (i.e. back end technical use of SIMS and ability to use data)

SIMS is such a broad system; what exactly would you like advice on? Will help narrow down your options

CAPITA have consultants who will be able to visit and help you with your queries, they may be cheaper alternatives out there of course.

cheaper but clearly not as good

Home - School ICT Services are very good, have some really good consultants who will taylor consultancy exactly to your needs and don't do some soft selling for additional products like certain companies. The only problem is they're based in Leeds so not sure if they'll cover your area.

cheaper but clearly not as good

 

Since its pantomime season... Oh yes they are!

I know Mark ([email protected]) does loads of this with various schools and chains, though not us (we have Progresso). I've been very happy with other work he has done for us though. Edited December 3, 2014 by NotSoFast

Field experts: ESP - Education Support Professionals @Will_Townsend can probably find you someone.

Depends exactly what you need @Pete88 I have deal with David Pott from time to time SIMS Assessment Manager Blog - Using SIMS Assessment Manager for School Improvement

 

His blog is quite useful and he does do consultancy, but he does have to come down from up Manchester way, but I have bounced ideas off of him before and worked on solutions.

[Pete88]

Thanks all for the suggestions, once I get a bit more info about the specific requirements I can get back to the people mentioned

Also worth mentioning John Howarth at OSMIS and Neil Gregory at NKG Solutions.

You might find location is a factor in picking from the many.

You could wait until BETT when they will all be heading to london
