IntegrisG2 School Management Information System

Integris^G2 is a new generation of school Management Information System (MIS) that will radically change the way school data is managed and shared.

It is a centrally hosted and web-delivered solution that offers access to school information from the classroom, office or home, for teachers, pupils and their parents as well as the Local Authority. 

For Schools

How can a typical Primary School save £1500 a year on IT infrastructure?

How can you eliminate the need for School Administrators to undertake software upgrades and data back-ups whilst at the same time guaranteeing the security of your pupil data?

How can you reduce the number of times your local authority contacts you to satisfy the data requirements of the DfE?

Integris^G2 is the next generation of School Management Information System (MIS) providing schools with the above benefits by delivering all the functionality of a traditional MIS over the web.

You can see more details about Integris^G2 in the Features tab.

Local Authorities

How can an average sized local authority with 109 schools save as much as £509,793 on IT infrastructure whilst at the same time increasing efficiency and user satisfaction in the school?

How can you support your schools without having to manage data and hardware on site at each individual school?

How can you securely share valuable pupil data with relevant third parties such as social services?

Integris^G2 can revolutionise the way you maintain, use and share pupil data. By delivering all the functionality of a traditional school Management Information System (MIS) over the web, Integris^G2 will modernise the management of school data.

Cost Savings

Because Integris^G2 is entirely web-delivered it eliminates the need for a dedicated server in each school to host the MIS and support contracts to maintain these servers. When multiplied across all the schools within your region, this represents a significant saving. A saving of £509,793 could buy you 13 new teachers, or 22 new classroom assistants.

Easy Access

Given the right level of access rights, you could access live pupil data through a 'Single Point of Truth' (SPOT). You can use this access to satisfy ad hoc DfE data requirements whilst reducing the burden on the school. With secure access rights, pupil data can easily be shared between relevant agencies, adhering to Every Child Matters recommendations.

Creating Efficiencies

Your support team will no longer need to support or apply software upgrades at each of your schools. All software upgrades for Integris^G2 are managed by RM, happening outside of school hours to avoid interruption to the working day. Data back-ups are also performed centrally, guaranteeing data security and reducing the administrative burden on your schools.

• Integris^G2 can be accessed from any PC in the school with a web browser and internet access.
• Secure anytime, anywhere access means Teachers can work on the system from home. Parents, meanwhile, can access their child's records to view attendance data, school reports or end of term results.
• Integris^G2 includes a powerful reporting tool. Data can be transferred to Excel or interrogated using a simple filter.
• Because Integris^G2 is centrally hosted, the school does not need to back-up or maintain the system or data.
• All the school needs is the required number of web-enabled PCs. Expensive server and hardware configurations to support your MIS are a thing of the past.
• Any software upgrade is applied once, centrally. All schools can use a new release immediately.
• With consent, the Local Authority can begin to carry out a number of tasks on a school's behalf e.g. Key Stage 2 results, Year End or updating Cared for Children.
• Robust security protocols as used by Internet banks ensure only users with the appropriate privileges can access pupil data.

Integris^G2 combines a powerful suite of administration tools that together make up a world-class school Management Information System (MIS). Key elements of Integris^G2 include:

 Administration

Provides schools with easy access to pupil, staff and school data in a secure and friendly environment without the need for extensive training or ICT experience. Single data entry and the automation of routine tasks and reports saves precious time.

 Attendance

Streamlines the collection, management and analysis of statutory attendance records. Easily supports electronic attendance, bringing the MIS into the classroom.

 Assessment

Access pupil performance data quickly and benefit from powerful analysis and statistical functionality, making it easier to track a child's progress.

 Behaviour

Behaviour incidents can be recorded immediately by teachers guaranteeing accurate data and therefore a better understanding of a child's behaviour.

 Reporting to Parents

 Census

Makes it quick and easy to comply with all the DfE statutory requirements without interrupting the normal running of your school.

 School Workforce Census

Makes it quick and easy to comply with all the DfE statutory requirements for staff, without interrupting the normal  running of your school.

System Requirements

As with all MIS software, there are minimum requirements laid out for each PC / laptop that will be used to access Integris^G2. Whilst only a web browser is required to access the software, nonetheless the speed at which temporary Internet pages and files can be processed is directly proportional to the PC / laptop specification in operation. It is also important to have an appropriate connection to the Internet and that each PC / laptop operates at or above the expected speed.

Hardware Specification

When using Integris^G2, the rendering of Internet pages along with some of the data processing activity will be performed by the user's system. Therefore, we have specified a recommended hardware requirement for use with the application. In order to experience Integris^G2 at optimum performance, we would recommend the following system requirements:

 

Description	Requirement
Processor	1.7 GHz or higher
RAM	1.5 GB or higher
Operating System (PC)	Windows® XP, Vista® or Windows 7
Operating System (Apple®)	OS X Snow Leopard®

Web Browser Compliance

The web browser industry is changing constantly and we will only endorse a new release once full compatibility has been established. The following web browsers are currently supported by Integris^G2:

Provider	Product	Version
Microsoft®	Internet Explorer	7.0 and 8.0
Mozilla	Mozilla Firefox™	3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4 and 5
