Moving the last few Apps to Wonde or Groupcall

[Warwick_Tech]

Hi All,

 

for *reasons* I am trying to move our last 3 bespoke data extractors off the Server;

 

These are:

* ParentPay (MIS Sync)

* MyEd (Keeping Kids Safe)

* TES Room Booking

 

I've spoken to a couple and they seem to be mis-understanding my request - Rather than use their bespoke sync tools I'd rather use Wonde or Groupcall, which are supported by cloud services such as Arbor https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011606557-Arbor-s-Third-Party-API-Integrations

 

If we have a completely cloud based MIS, do we really need these bespoke programs?

 

Anyone who has got Sims next gen/Arbor can confirm?

If just double checked and we've just used the direct API with Arbor directly with TES Room Booking

Not seeing any of those three in the "Discover apps" section of the Wonde portal. Various TES apps, but not one named Room Booking.

 

I don't know if there's a list of available apps for Groupcall, however.

We have ParentPay linked direct with Arbor (Partner Apps - API Users), same for TES too.

parentpay missync - has a cloud version - we used it with bromcom in my last place - we just told them we were changing to a cloud mis and they offered the switch over.

 

myed - keeping kids safe - is that the communications program? - that was using a bespoke connector so we just dumped them and used the inbuilt comms package with the MIS

 

TES room booking - totally has a cloud sync option - we used it with bromcom

 

none of them use wonde or groupcall and there's a cost involved to them which I can't see them soaking up for just one school.

Yep, we do the same here.

 

Don't use either of the other two.

Cheers all;

 

It seems yes if we look at Arbor we can do TES and Parentpay through them directly and drop the programs; MyEd now have a Wonde option with some limited functionality that we don't use so we're going to do this - At least it ticks a few more things off my job list
