If you mean branding on thr emails and other communications, there is no Schoolcomms branding at all, you decide on the entire layout.

From a personal point of view I'm intrigued by your profession, of teaching over the phone! Love to hear how that works, successfully obviously for you!

GREED replied to wesleyw's topic in How do you do....it?
I would be interested to see what you eventually come up with, you are asking for a lot of specifics, particularly you integration requirements, all in one package. Good luck! -
Edugeek exclusive!… New Online Reporting product
GREED replied to Schoolcomms's topic in MIS Systems
I'm still getting over the concept, great idea guys. Be nice to see if you get more customers giving you feedback on the product designs etc on here! -
I'll be sure to resurrect this thread or part of it in good time...
-
Yes i have heard about that terminology... the question is have the people who may well be need to know, know about it? Tje subtulties of asking a question you know the answer to already
-
I think that is my point, cloud solutions are fine, yet anything still installed locally in some way still needs intervention for updating. All the examples used are hosted applications... so we are not disagreeing?
-
if you could only see my face right now.... too many winks im having a siezure...
-
True cloud? Lets see... because I then challenge every customer to ensure they know as guardians of the data where their data is being stored... sorry, but it is nice to be on the otherside of that argument for a change! On the other hand, yes it is valuable ammunition... lets not keep supplying him with it! I must say i do see what Richard is saying... his and most other MIS solutions have the updates done for them now. I think this is quite limited to this market, certainly within the consumer market.
-
Windows? IOS? In fact just about every software I can think of. Everything except cloud hosted solutions...
-
LOL... it made me chuckle your reaction to it!
-
Meh... i think loose is better

My daughters mum has the same issues. However she also has noise on the phone line. Everything inside the house was replaced by an engineer and still an issue... so despite me telling them they need to shimmy up the pole (giggles) they never did.

They were in THE perfect position to take on the lovefilm etc revolution, or even just buy one of them when they were in their infancy... how short sighted

BBC News - Blockbuster to close remaining stores

... BBC News - G4S and Serco lose tagging contracts Don't get me wrong, well deserved after the shambles, but it's the familiar names cropping up that tickled me!
-
I paraphrased... I know that is what he meant to say (committing Phil now...)! Something about it being 4 clicks and done... that was all. C'mon he has to keep some surprises for BETT!
-
Also, I fully agree and support they way this process supporting gathering schools to look at suppliers in a focused set of sessions, think that is great because yes (Matt) it would be a lot of work and things would move slowly.
-
Are there that many choices? Even fewer decent choices... nudging Matt in the side as per previous conversations!!!

Mr Neal promised on twitter last night new Solus 3 will be great

I and perhaps others appreciate you explanation. I don't think you addressed my point, which is the LA was forced to re procure as all are, and this process has only been a process to facilitate showing some MIS solutions to their schools. Schools are free to make their own choice regardless, however the council will either remove all MIS local support and push for direct supplier support, or will retrain their staff with skills in the 2 main supplier systems. They cannot and will not support any and all solutions. And so there is a subliminal push from the LA particularly to schools who rely on that local support to adopt on of those solutions. Unfortunately it has always been that way. So true choice is a subjective term, particularly if you just 'won' the contract! BTW, I'm not pointing fingers, certainly not at the LA they have to do what they have to do with limited budgets. This is a general point about the revolution in MIS procurement.
-
Indeed, it makes a bit of a mockery of a tender such as this from LAs. There is huge expense in winning a contract such as this, with zero guaranteed return because ultimately the schools can do what they want anyway. Obviously, or I would assume, the LA as a result will only be offering local support for Bromcom and AL? This is how they would entice schools to migrate to their preferred choices. Nice that you will be able to offer a direct support model!
-
I'm sure you not Phil, it is in reality a good idea with the right product... of course revenue doesn't influence your stance at all does it ;-)
-
But perhaps not appropriate for this topic as it has nothing to do with the question...

Interesting
