iSAMS Announces Strategic Partnership with Schools BI
New analytics solution empowers schools with deeper insights through intuitive, decision-ready dashboards.
iSAMS by IRIS today announced a strategic partnership with Schools BI to launch iSAMS Central, powered by Schools BI, a new analytics solution designed to help independent and international schools make more informed decisions through greater visibility of their data.
Combining the trusted school management capabilities of iSAMS with Schools BI’s specialist expertise in education analytics, iSAMS Central + SchoolsBI transforms school data into intuitive, decision-ready dashboards, helping leaders access the insights they need to improve operational efficiency and support strategic planning.
Already relied upon by thousands of schools worldwide, iSAMS provides a central source of student, academic and operational data. Through this new partnership, schools can now unlock deeper value from that information through a fully integrated analytics experience delivered within their existing iSAMS relationship – and importantly, from 3rd party sources too.
Unlike traditional reporting approaches, iSAMS Central + SchoolsBI brings together data from across the school, including MIS, assessment, finance and HR systems, into a single, easy-to-navigate view. Data is refreshed automatically overnight, removing the need for manual exports, spreadsheet management or additional reporting tools.
“We’ve always believed data should help schools do their jobs, not become the job. iSAMS is already the system the world’s leading independent and international schools run on. Powering iSAMS Central means that belief now reaches thousands more schools through a platform they already trust, and that’s exactly why we started Schools BI.”
Rhys Gwillym, Founder, Schools BI
Delivering greater visibility across school operations
iSAMS Central + SchoolsBI enables school leaders, bursars, governors and operational teams to access a comprehensive view of performance and key metrics, helping them make confident, evidence-based decisions.
Key benefits include:
- Integrated dashboards built from data already held within iSAMS and more
- A single view across MIS, assessment, admissions, finance and HR information
- Automatic overnight data refreshes for up-to-date reporting
- One contract and one trusted supplier relationship

Built for the needs of modern schools
Developed specifically for independent and international schools, iSAMS Central + SchoolsBI supports a wide range of reporting and leadership requirements, from day-to-day operational oversight to board reporting, inspection preparation and multi-school performance tracking.
The solution is particularly valuable for school groups seeking greater consistency across campuses, bursars looking to streamline reporting processes, and leadership teams requiring fast access to reliable data insights.
It builds on a platform already trusted by more than 300 independent and international schools worldwide, bringing together proven technology and deep sector expertise in a single offering.
“Schools already trust iSAMS with their data every day. Through our partnership with Schools BI, we’re giving them a powerful new way to understand that data and act on it, without adding complexity or another system to manage.”
