Top five benefits of a cloud MIS for Data Managers in schools

Over 9,000 schools have already moved to the cloud, with more than 2 in 3 who switch choosing Arbor. But some Data Managers still have concerns about what using a cloud MIS will mean for them and their school. 

We recently released a guide for School Data Managers who are thinking about moving to a cloud MIS.  Hear from Data Managers who are part of the Arbor Community speaking about their experience of moving MIS and their learnings from switching to the cloud. You can download the ebook for free here. 

In the meantime, we’ve put together the top five benefits of the cloud for Data Managers in schools.

What are the top five benefits of the cloud for School Data Managers?

Access your MIS from anywhere

Get quick, secure access to all your student and staff data wherever you’re working – all you need is a browser. No need to rely on servers!

Automatic updates

If the DfE releases new guidance, Arbor can deploy features to help you within days (sometimes just 24 hours!). We also update Arbor fortnightly with new features and improvements, which you can access as soon as they’re released. 

Clean, live data

All your data across your MIS is stored in the cloud, so the information you see is a real-time reflection of the students in your school.

All the tools you need in one place

Arbor brings key tasks under one roof, including reporting, comms, and managing rotas, timetables and sickness.

Keep the apps you love, and replace the ones you don’t

Arbor connects to leading secondary school apps like 4Matrix, Edval, Timetabler, CPOMS and Civica. Or you can replace the tools that aren’t working for you with our built-in functionality – we’ve got everything from Cover and Exam Management to Seating Plans.
