iSAMS is a robust platform offering limitless management possibilities. We’ve particularly appreciated the customisation and integration options, which have enabled us to adapt the system to our school’s unique requirements while preserving established elements. This flexibility has made our transition to iSAMS smoother than we initially expected. The dedicated training, along with the support desk and online resources available to our staff, has been incredibly valuable.

Reddam House Sydney - Warren Garratt - Deputy Principal

We needed a partner who could respond quickly and deliver – and iSAMS did exactly that. From initial solution through to our upcoming full system rollout, the team has shown real commitment to getting things right for our school and our families. We’re excited to be joining the iSAMS community and look forward to everything the full platform has to offer.

Your questions answered

Is the iSAMS system a single database structure?

Is there a unique ID for each person in iSAMS?

Yes! Each student, staff member and parent will have a unique identifier within the iSAMS system. This ensures that all information related to that individual is linked to their single record, preventing data duplication and inconsistencies across different areas of the school.
