Thanks to everybody who came to see us at BETT 2010. Our browser-based Teacher's WebFolder received an overwhelmingly positive response, and generated a lot of feedback and discussion. WebFolder Mobile's facility to allow teachers to be able to access and register student data using a mobile device such as the iPod touch appeared to really catch people's attention.
Alan Day was impressed by what Teacher’s WebFolder had to offer:
"BROMCOM ... with an excellent front-end to SIMS, Teacher's WebFolder brings SIMS, including registration, assessment etc. to a wide choice of devices! They have created a user-friendly and intuitive interface for SIMS, that can be used on iPod touch, iPhone, and other devices (e.g. smartphones) with a browser. It's SIMS how it should be, and excellent value. It's also secure, and is integrated with SIMS.
This approach of abstracting SIMS data to a new presentation layer is a good one! Imagine being able to give your staff an iPod touch each as their main register ... and because it's consumer technology it's comparatively cheap!"

To SIMS.net users without Bromcom e-Registration
Teacher's WebFolder SD (SIMS Direct) is a far more cost effective, easier alternative to rolling out SIMS.net into classrooms for teacher access.
Record behavioural events into SIMS Lesson Monitor and / or SIMS Attendance. If it is in active use, assessment entries can also be made into SIMS Assessment Manager and SIMS Profiles.
Implemented with the support of Capita's Technical Partnership agreement, using Capita’s Interface, which ensures 100% compatibility with SIMS.net. The required software is simply installed on the existing SIMS server.
Bromcom's Management Information System (MIS) software for Secondary and Primary Schools is purpose built to manage school data relating to students, curriculum, resources etc.
The Bromcom MIS provides capabilities for entering test and assessment scores, building timetables, tracking attendance and managing many other student-related data needs in a school.
Installations vary in size and scope. From packages implemented in relatively small organizations for covering student records, to enterprise-wide solutions that aim to cover a range of aspects of running multi site split schools.
The Bromcom MIS is unique in that it carries many advantages over its competitors but none of the disadvantages. An alternative MIS product from a well known supplier has been likened to “a piece of flat-pack furniture you have to assemble yourself which is unstable and always needs attention by IT staff.” You won't have to worry about anything like this with Bromcom’s MIS, as we guide schools all the way ensuring that the installation and implementation of the Bromcom MIS goes smoothly. We are well-known for our quality support, both remotely and on-site.
