Finally, ask how the vendor handles onboarding for the specific transition the school is making, whether that is a first MIS, a migration from a previous system, or a rollout across several schools in a trust. A vendor with a clear, specific answer to this question, rather than a generic implementation timeline, is usually the one that has done this particular kind of transition before.
Spreadsheets are where many multi-academy trusts start, and for a single form entry they can just about cope. Run several schools from them and the cracks show quickly. Versions multiply, formulas break, and no one is quite sure which file is current. For a trust accountable to governors, the Department for Compass Education UK and parents, that is a real risk rather than a minor annoyance.
The licence fee is the number on the quote. The total cost of ownership is the number a school business manager actually has to plan for, and the two are rarely the same. Before signing for any school management information system, it pays to map every cost across the full contract, not just year one.
Beyond hosting location and certification, a few further questions round out proper due diligence: how often is the system independently penetration-tested, what is the vendor's data breach notification process, and does the school retain the ability to export its full data set on request rather than being dependent on the vendor for access.

Take attendance. Registers are a legal duty and a daily routine, so automating them matters more than it sounds. When an MIS captures attendance quickly, flags patterns for the office and feeds the figures straight into reporting, staff spend less time on administration and more on the pupils in front of them.
