The spring term has been hectic for us at WhichMIS? and we thought as we rapidly approach the end of term it might be a good idea to offer a refresh on what we’ve been up to for the past few weeks.
In recent weeks we’ve been posting a fair amount about BETT which took place between 24th and 26th January at ExCel London.
This year over 40,000 visitors from more than 140 countries attended the event. The overall exhibition space seemed smaller than last year and was split over two halls.
We will be visiting the BETT show this week and would love to meet up with anyone interested in talking ‘MIS’.
With BETT 2024 fast approaching we asked MIS providers the following questions:
The census data is in, and the new MIS market share stats are here!
Our thanks, once again, go out to our good friend Joshua Perry who analyses each set of census data and provides insights into the MIS market players, how many schools they have, the ‘winners and losers’ etc. in his blog which we urge you to read.
We asked MIS providers how much they pay external support teams for providing support to their schools and how much they pay in referral fees when a school purchases their platform after being referred by a partner.
As everyone in education knows all too well, the UK is currently suffering from a severe shortage of teaching staff – something that’s exacerbating issues such as teacher workload, low morale, and workplace stress.
Number 2 in our series of demos recorded with MIS providers exhibiting at the recent BETT Show – here we see IRIS Ed:gen in action.
We interviewed the four MIS providers that exhibited at BETT 2023 and will be adding each of their video interviews over the coming days. Today
So, what is happening to the MIS players? Have schools continued to switch away from SIMS to other providers or has the slide been halted?
