Installing your first iSAMS system
It’s easier than you might think. We’ve implemented iSAMS in more than 1,600 schools and the average installation takes us just three hours from the moment you enable remote access. Or you can focus on your internal systems and we’ll host your system ourselves.
Dealing with the data
It’s the way iSAMS uses your data that makes it such a powerful and versatile tool. But it needs importing from your existing database first to unleash that potential.
iSAMS has easy-to-use import and export facilities, and we can manage the entire data transfer for you – no matter what database you’re currently using. We’ve migrated school data from every other mainstream school MIS, after all.
We can even help you cleanse it – to eradicate duplication and redundant data. Data is imported in layers, and tested as the process progresses, so you can trust that everything will be just as you want it.
Once the transfer is complete, you’ll have full access to your data, with easy extraction from any field within the system. And you’ll be ready to start benefiting from all the modules you’ve chosen for your system.
Futureproof your school’s data
We offer a secure, cloud-hosted solution. By hosting with us in the cloud it puts the onus on us to take responsibility for the smooth running of your iSAMS system. That’s easy – and we host it in a secure, dedicated data centre. It means a lot less strain on your existing hardware and internal staff resource. External hosting relies on a working internet connection for any access.
What about new schools?
New schools need to capture the same data as an established school when it comes to student admissions and curriculum planning. Yet new schools often delay their MIS implementation just because most systems need to be installed on the school’s own network.
But what if you don’t have a network? What if you don’t even have the land yet? This is why iSAMS is the ideal new school MIS. We offer a unique service: we will host the system on your behalf, and your staff can access it from anywhere in the world. Your school could be based in a management office in London or Singapore – it doesn’t matter where you are.
That means you can get started immediately
Your admin staff benefit from the features of an MIS without pointlessly adding data to Access or Excel spreadsheets. You want that data in the MIS eventually, so why not use it from the very beginning? Once your school is launched, we can continue to host iSAMS for you, or we can easily transfer it to your own in-school network.
So, from the outset, all new student applications will be tracked, communications will be fully logged, and you can examine statistics at the click of a button. You get all this information without the need for double entry and messy data transfers. Good, clean data from the first student application, and a school MIS which will grow as your school grows.
