martysharkey Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I'm looking to find out who offers a true centralised MIS system. One that does not require local servers and multiple databases that can be accessed from a browser?
ntm1275 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 RM's Integris G2 is a fully web based, centrally hosted system (can be hosted by LEA or by RM) We use it county wide for Primary and Secondary schools Everything is managed and supported centrally
stuartreid Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 RM & Pearson Also ScholarPack and iSAMS. These are the only ones that I am aware of.
Banjo Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Serco are bringing out a new MIS called Progresso that's fully web based and hosted, but you'll have to wait 9-12 months for that.
Ian_ICTDS Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 If you’re a fan of SIMS I think Capita (or was it one of their partners) offer a hosted SIMS solution that you access over VPN though a browser. Or if you can wait a few years rumours are SIMS v8 will be fully web based and hosted in ‘the cloud’.
nic-clark Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 We use Scholarpack. Hosted for us, 256 bit security, flexible and simple to use. Extremely good people and it's free too! We're pretty new to it, but have not looked back to Facility.
SteveB Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 We offered a hosted solution of SIMS for our schools. But we do have two racks with 200 databases on them, although the schools connect across network to access the data.
matt40k Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Ah, so the client is still installed on the workstation, but the database is central?
SteveB Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Yep, not for the finacne packages tho. Although some of our schools use SAP . . . . .
matt40k Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 Ah k, that's interesting. Shame FMS doesn't work like that otherwise that'll be a nice solution.
SteveB Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 FMS could be centrally hosted using the same method. Edit the fmsconnect.ini to point the central server
matt40k Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 FMS could be centrally hosted using the same method. Edit the fmsconnect.ini to point the central server ROFL!!! Thanks, I needed that. Try running FMS over a high lag connection (ie non LAN), it's utter madness.
