Why POWER BI for SCHOOLS?

Because SIMS, Bromcom, Arbor and all the other pupil databases can no longer keep up with our need for data analysis. Schools need tools that are more flexible than one pupil database supplier could ever provide. Power BI provides this, and more.

POWER BI Advantages

Power BI can bring together data from multiple sources, including your school pupil database, but also from your HR system, your finance system, or even a simple Excel spreadsheet. All these data sources can be brought into a single Power BI report and analyses side-by-side. School Analytics uses data from your pupil database and from Excel to provide a level of analysis that hasn’t previously been available to schools.

  • Easy data export from your pupil database.
  • No spreadsheet tweaking required.
  • No admin time required – can be fully automated.
  • Cost effective – from £295 with no annual subscription.
  • Always available.
  • Always up to date.
