More strategic partnerships: We want to make sure that our content reaches our customers in the places they visit and the publications they read, so we’re partnering with providers such as the TES, THE and i25. By focusing on the online places our customers visit most frequently, we want to address the issues they face or help them get the most from our software solutions. You can see an example of this kind of content partnership in our work with TES for Reading Cloud.

Search for "bringmoredata". Check the blog for the latest info.

Joshua hasn't updated that with the latest data and it shows a drop of 147, not 500.

 

(I've found a FYI from Richard @ ScholarPack, I've just not done anything with it... yet)

I mean, we all know that Capita turning up with SIMS .net and SIMS Primary still not available to use a year after launch would be utterly embarrassing for them and that is why they aren't going.

But at the same time, I just can't feel it within me to go to BETT all that often. The UK would be much better served if it moved to the NEC, or they had another BETT event in May or June somewhere in the UK that wasn't the ExCeL.

Beginning the end of legacy non-cloud era, long live cloud MIS!

Sorry, I was not clear - the consequence of replying on a mobile device in a hurry! See the twitter feed

and you can then see the 500 drop figure. The Advanced Learning figures don't look too healthy either. AFAIK, it's still impossible to separate Facility and Progresso but either way, when you look over the last five years it's not a pretty picture. For Progresso, I know of a local large secondary school moving from it to SIMS. The reason, I'm told, is on forming a MAT, all the other schools were SIMS so they're falling in line.

I'm pretty certain you can tell Facility and Progresso apart now.

 

EDIT: So you get this for Progresso:

 

Advanced Learning Progresso 18.5.6.0 2018.1.2

 

ISTR that Facility has a separate value.

Market churn data now updated, thanks to Joshua. Bring more data: MIS MARKET MOVES 2018: three signs that market activity is increasing.

Unfortunately it doesn't split Advanced Learning's products, but with a market growth of just 4 schools, but a loss of 61, it's pretty irrelevant.

Lot's to discuss with the vendors at BETT - well, it would be if they were present...
