but is that the best way forward? Our LA only allows us to enter into lease agreements with their approval which prolongs the process Leases for such high use items are expensive which is why I'm wondering if we buy with a maint agreement we might be better off.

We need to source a colour copy-printer able to printer A4 & A3, networked, access controlled (Do we have RIDICULOUS levels of printing waste!?) It will be high use - printing class sets of hand outs etc approx 200,000 Mono prints 200,000 colour prints pa at the moment Any recommendations on the make of machine How do others finance & maintain their main printer? Thanks (we don't have the space to have several printers in key points around the school)

Hi Have you decided yet? I'm interested because we are in a similar postition and have shortlisted 2 of which BromCom is one We are finding it very difficult to decide between the 2 and am keen to know what has made others choose their final option Regards

In my search for an e1 replacement someone recommended Arbor but as I couldn't find anyone using it I've ignored it. We can't afford (financially or time-wise) to be a guinnea pig for a new MIS. We also want to avoid an potential e1 situation with the company withdrawing from the market suddenly.

Hi Well we've have the bombshell that Pearson are withdrawing e1 We are bound to look beyond the deal with RM presented to us so what are others in the same boat looking at? Anything that impresses? or depresses? how good/bad is RM? SIMS? as we're moving buildings in summer 2014 this needs to be sorted sooner rather than later Jane ('cause I've got nothing else to do.... oh no, sit around all day & drink tea, thats me )
