Switch, don’t stick: Why over 50% of schools have already moved MIS

We’re aware that SIMS is encouraging schools to sign a new 3 year contract now, ahead of your 2025 renewal. I wanted to take the chance to do some myth-busting before you make your decision!

–

• Don’t feel rushed into re-signing without seeing what’s out there – schools save 30% by switching rather than sticking! Our 5,500 schools tell us they’ve saved £5,000/year on average by removing servers and third party apps they no longer need – meaning you’ll likely make better savings by moving MIS

• Arbor MIS is ready today – you don’t need to wait 2 years to get a cloud MIS: We’re proud that Arbor is consistently voted most popular by staff, and saves SLT and Office Teams hours each week. Arbor brings all your key tools into one place – from fully integrated parent comms (by email, SMS or in-app), to digital payments, context-rich classroom management, exams, timetabling and much more. Plus, we’re the only provider to offer a full MAT MIS, too

• Switching MIS is simpler than you think – and it’s worth it: 50% of state schools have already made the move to a new MIS, with more switchers choosing Arbor than all other MIS combined. Our expert team has deep experience when it comes to supporting your move – from evaluating our system to guiding you through migration – so you’re in safe hands!
