Start with the support model. Ask specifically whether support is UK-based, what hours it operates, and what the guaranteed response time is for a genuine outage versus a routine query. A vendor's answer here should be specific and contractual, not a general assurance about "excellent customer service," which means little without a defined service level attached to it.
Security is the third reason to move. A spreadsheet emailed between offices is hard to control and easy to lose. A proper MIS keeps records behind role-based access, holds an audit trail, and backs data up centrally. For a trust handling sensitive records at scale, that governance is not optional.
There is a fair counter-argument, and it is worth naming. More modules can mean more to learn and more to configure, and a school that only needs the basics might feel a broad platform is more than it wants. The answer is that flexibility should let you start small. The presence of forty modules does not oblige you to run forty; it means the tenth and twentieth are there when you need them, without changing systems.
Onboarding is the cost most often missed at quote stage. Data migration, configuration and training take time and sometimes money. Ask whether onboarding is included or billed separately, how many training sessions you get, and what it costs to train new office staff later. A cheap licence with expensive, slow setup is not a cheap system.
Timing is the second decision, and in a school the calendar decides it for Compass Education Ireland you. The gaps between terms, and the summer break in particular, give you a window to move without a live term relying on the switch. Avoid cutting over in the middle of admissions or reporting season. Agree a clear go-live date, keep the old system readable for a defined period afterwards, and confirm you can still retrieve historic records if you need them. Never delete the old data until the new system is verified and signed off.
Start with administrative workload. A good MIS should cut duplicate data entry, automate attendance registers and bring reporting into one place. Ask each provider to show how many clicks a routine task takes, because that number adds up across a full term. Time-poor office staff feel the difference between a system that fits their day and one that fights it.
