Schools have been adapting and innovating endlessly over the past 12 months. It’s been tough, but it’s also resulted in some innovative, positive changes to how schools work.
To handle these new ways of working, we’ve seen more schools than ever before planning to move to a cloud-based MIS (Management Information System) like Arbor, with over 900 schools switching fully remotely in 2020.
1 in 5 schools are looking to switch MIS in the next year, so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get all the information you need to make the right choice.
Older school systems that rely on servers make it really difficult to run your school flexibly. They also work slowly and put a huge admin burden on staff.
Arbor is people-friendly, giving staff the tools and data they need wherever they’re working from. As a result, Arbor schools work faster, smarter and collaborate more.
To help demystify the move to a cloud-based MIS, we’re running lots of free webinars this term.
From case studies, to demos, to deeper dives into core parts of the system, our webinars are designed to show you why over 1,700 schools and 180 MATs have joined Arbor – the UK’s fastest-growing MIS community.
Whether you’re uncertain of a system change right now, or you’re struggling to get your team onboard with the decision, these webinars will give you the information and tools you need to take that next step.
Check out our free webinars and events below, and pick the session for you:
1. Switching Made Simple: The benefits of the cloud 2. Discover Arbor MIS: Demos of Arbor MIS 3. Moving to Arbor: How the MIS switch works 4. A Deeper Dive: How Arbor works 5. Hear from real Arbor users: Case studies 6. Virtual Tea and Cake: Personalised demos with tea and cake!
