Thank you for that. That has been really helpful. You are correct in that the ESS provide very little information. The context behind our move to SIMS Connected is we wish to move to the Cloud, or should I say "serverless" and there is a complete no go from SLT with moving our SIMS to Arbor/Bromcom etc. Would you say with something like SIMS Connected can provide, would aid in this? Do you still require a server onsite? Currently our data is hosted on a SAN for it, would we still require this? Or do they host the data, services etc? Aswell as that, how are things such Groupcall, Wonde, AIMHigh etc managed with this move to SIMS Connected?

SIMS Connected A School I support seem to determined to make the move to this. Anyone got any experience of migrating and using this? Anything I should be making the school aware of, issue wise, something tells me it is not going to be all sing and dancing as they expect!

Hi all Sorry to hijack a little, but could do with some honest, frank views! Currently, we are locked into SIMS, much like everyone else. However there is a total lack of urgency to move our MIS to another product, let alone Cloud. They simply will not move from SIMS, at least yet. That means, for now, SIMS Connected will have to be the answer as we move away from servers. Now I understand the downsides that come with SIMS Connected, in regards to lag, it using old tech (html5) etc. But can anyone kindly elaborate on what more we can expect running SIMS connected and also probably even more importantly, the process and hurdles we can expect making this move to SIMS Connected? Is it a big deal? I have been linked to a technical guide from someone at SC, it rings alarm bells!
