I can attest to what Tom has outlined above - he pointed me into the right places re: gateway and virtual machines and it’s been running pretty seamlessly for a few months now. I’m currently a team of one (and teach a full timetable and this is really building a business case for building out the data team more fully to work across the business). Our attendance dashboards have set us up well for ISI inspection and save staff a huge amount of time. Massive return on minimal investment when considered on those terms - that’s before we explore write back options with the API and dropping various platforms that we’re subscribed to.

Hi Tom - have popped you a private message on here with email details - would be great to have a quick chat whenever suits you Thank you!

That would be awesome thank you - I tend to have to really spell it out to our IT team so will pop you a message with email etc.

Hi All, We’ve got good feedback from moving to “My school portal” away from the standard offering. Our exams officer also like Isams from an exams perspective. I have power bi set up and the access to the Isams backend configured (with some SQL queries ready to go) struggling with how to get it all to connect on a schedule though (without manually running the queries) so would love to talk with someone about how they achieve that!

I got read-only access to the database as I was hoping to get it to hookup/feed into PowerBI but they have their intelligence module built on Power BI so I guess they are pushing people towards that.
