"The revolution is not about technology. The real revolution is about access to information and communication. It's not about the wires, it's about what flows through them" (Alan November)
Many schools run their own management information system to manage their data, especially attendance and assessment data. In many recent introductions to the education system, there is a need for a student-focused data management system which deals seamlessly with multiple centres. There is clearly a mismatch between the requirements of these recent initiatives, and the reality that the school and college-based MIS provides. The only vehicle that can bridge this gap effectively is the Internet.
Some MIS providers have attempted to solve the data integration problem through the use of middleware and a central hub within the authority. However, this solution can be costly to implement and manage, and there may be interoperability issues related to neighbouring authorities using different systems.
