Details

Choosing the right management information system (MIS) has the potential to make a huge difference to the effective running of a school, and to the workload of the staff who need to use it.

The MIS comparison table is provided to help schools compare MIS providers when they are considering switching MIS.

It is not designed to provide all the information required by schools when making this decision but to clarify key features of each MIS and speed up the time taken to narrow down the options to a provider shortlist.
