I think it's fair to say that any Accredited third party team should be more than capable of giving Capita support a run for its money. You should shop around, there are plenty of us out here, a quick google search for SIMS Support will give you an idea of the teams such as ourselves who would be more than willing to provide you with a quote. Thats not me advertising our specific services by the way, i don't want to ruffle any feathers i'm simply saying that Capita support isn't the only option and there are some really good reputable third party accredited teams out there.

Thanks for the quick responce Sparkeh, i'm assumeing the LA just asks for a report file or an export from sims sent to them? and hey presto?

Hi, do any of your schools use sims to track Foundation stage pupil progress? i know there is a Sims & the early years course which covers FS tracking and assessment in Sims. Can this be used rather then e-profile? or do the two BOTH have to be used? has anyone had any experience with this? i.e has the LA refused data from Sims? Anyone with experience of this who can shed some light on this would be great. Thank you

Hi, Has any local Sims support teams out there responded to the cut's etc by becoming a traded service within there authority? i would be very interested in speaking with anyone who has or is thinking of it Thanks

Just curious really, has anyone customised there sims to auto populate the address fields ? ie type in post code and house name/number and it pupulates the rest of the data in the address? i realise it will pull up any information that would already be in the sims database ie. if someone else on the system has the same addresss but is there a way of populateing it from an external source? Thanks

I havent seen anything on support NET, i had a good look around as well.

Good Afternoon, Has anyone managed to sucessfully complete a central return for the School Workforce Census Via Oracle ? or using information held within Oracle? Thanks
