ntm1275 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I need a list of which MIS Systems are fully web based, which would be suitable for mainstream Local Authority Primary and Secondary schools and whether they are on the IMLS Framework Our current MIS contract will be coming to an end in the not too distant future and my Director of Service has asked me to find out what else in on the market, so that we can arrange to have demonstrations of their systems The list I have so far is:- Bromcom Serco Progresso ScholarPack ASPEN Integris G2 ISAMS (seems to be mainly independent schools but I may be wrong) Phoenix E1 Can anyone add to my list please? Many thanks
vikpaw Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 This link : http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/76154-something-keep-eye-dfe.html#post807968 has the IMLS list but includes non web based too. Novatia is Follett / Aspen. Histon House is ScholarPack Wauton Samuel is PASAPP I don't think ISAMS is on there, but you're right it is good for Independents, but saying that i've heard of many happy customers. I have a feeling, from talks at BETT, Scholarpack weren't yet as geared up for secondary school, and ALL functions, but this will have changed in 6 months. Personally, i'd say ASPEN tops the ranks as it is flexible, allows config, db access, open source and has auditing (yay!) . You can read bits and bobs about the others in various threads. It's worth considering how they link to VLE, if you have one or are considering and the functions / cost of that. 1
GREED Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 There is a nice amount of info available here also: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/96205-little-about-follett.html 1
ntm1275 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks for your replies If any other MIS Representitives are reading this and I have missed you from my original list, please reply as I don't want to miss anybody out
matt40k Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Personally, i'd say ASPEN... ...open source... Is it? Or do you mean it can use MySQL etc?
GREED Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Open Standards. Can use SQL, MySQL, Oracle. Written in Java, so if you have Java developers on staff they can further enhance the system beyond what is normally customisable using the GUI tools. In fact we offer yearly prizes in competitions for the best development project taken on by schools!
vikpaw Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Sorry, yeah, that's what i meant. Open standards and supports customising. 1
vikpaw Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Better brush up on my Java skills Gonna convince your whole LA to change ? @GREED will be a busy boy
GREED Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 @vikpaw wow, that will be a change of pace @matt40k yep, and i'll swing the vote and we'll split the prize I'm sure a bottle of vino can be split easily enough
matt40k Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 My sources have been spotting @GREED already all over the UK selling his wares, he moves faster then Santa on xmas!! Sure I can leave a drop out for him next time his down our way... that's all that will be left after it's been passed round the office, if his lucky he'll have a Capita sweetie to go with it
matt40k Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Sorry, I said you had donuts and coffee. Just encase you were thinking of quiting and becoming a male model.
GREED Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Tried that... Wasn't much call in the modelling world for a 27 yr old who looks like a 20 yr old, but thinks like a 50 yr old and acts like a 35 yr old... That is I look young, think like a grumpy old man and act like I'm in a mid life crisis ;-) 1
penfold_99 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 That is I look young, think like a grumpy old man and act like I'm in a mid life crisis ;-) Is that why you bought a convertible sports car and insist on driving around under the speed limit with the top down in the pouring with the rain?
john Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Not quite, I have a rain mac too... Eeeew Mac! You mean your MIS runs on a Mac haha
GREED Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Eeeew Mac! You mean your MIS runs on a Mac haha lol Runs on a Mac AS WELL A Mac is only good for keeping the rain out though 1
