Bromcom chosen to deliver MIS services to 1,100 schools in Northern Ireland

 

24 January 2024 / Scott Biggs

In 2022, the Education Authority (EA) Northern Ireland tendered to replace the School Management System in all their 1,100 schools and expand to other educational settings. With the EdIS Strategic Partner and School Management System, EA has secured the implementation of a world-leading, cloud-based, functionally rich solution to replace the current on-premises solution. New benefits will be tailored and customised for Northern Ireland’s Education sector in order to enhance the functions that schools currently utilise.  

The comprehensive procurement process completed in December 2023 sees Bromcom play a key role in the overall solution delivery alongside a range of partners.

 

The objectives of Bromcom’s One-Stop shop solution includes:

 

• Putting the learner at the centre of the service
  
• Enhancing stakeholder communication across the education sector
  
• Supporting improved collaboration across all schools and stakeholders
  
• Reducing duplication of data and the administrative burden of the system for all users in Northern Ireland 
  

 

 Speaking on the announcement, Bromcom CEO Ali Guryel said: “We could not have started 2024 on a better note, with the news that the Education Authority in Northern Ireland have chosen Bromcom to provide cloud MIS services to their schools. It is a huge project, and credit to all involved at Bromcom and our partners for their hard work during the tender process. We are delighted that our One-Stop Shop solution will deliver benefits to learning communities, and ultimately help enable better education outcomes.”

The goal of the project is to provide high quality, sustainable, core education technology services to schools and to ensure that they are appropriate to meet the current and future needs of school children, young people, teachers, school leaders, parents, and guardians in Northern Ireland.

It's official, migrating your school data to Bromcom is "safe, lawful and authorised".

In 2022, Bromcom’s migration process was submitted by ESS itself to the CMA, as an example of a speedy and efficient solution for schools.

This action stands as a testament to the legitimacy and established nature of Bromcom’s approach, suggesting no prior objections from ESS regarding the process.

We are delighted to announce a hugely successful project between Acer Trust, Scomis, and Bromcom.

Acer Trust is a MAT from Oxfordshire who moved three of their schools that use Bromcom MIS over to Scomis’ support network. The schools have benefited from the change and as a result, Acer Trust is now planning to move six more of its primary schools over to Scomis to receive the same services.

Michael Heard, Education Business Partner at Scomis, commented: “We are delighted to develop our partnership with Bromcom. Following a successful pilot project with Acer Trust, we are looking forward to providing additional support and MIS choice for schools, as well as developing our working relationship with Bromcom."
