MIS for schools
IRIS Ed:gen – the smart MIS for schools
In the fast-paced, demanding world of education, time is a precious commodity. IRIS Ed:gen gives school staff their valuable time back, along with the opportunity to excel in their roles, and promote better outcomes for students.
Designed with you, for you, the smart and user-friendly school management information system streamlines the entire school day by:
- Providing schools with all the information they need in one system so they only need to input data once
- Automating processes to save countless hours of time and resource
- Delivering powerful analytics that drive informed, timely, and effective decision making and improve performance
Key Benefits
Smarter school days
IRIS Ed:gen makes every school day smarter by empowering staff to manage all aspects of daily school life in one system. It integrates seamlessly with third party software to consolidate and speed-up processes. Enter data once and it will be automatically updated throughout the system to save time, improve accuracy, and maximise chances for student success.
Quick and convenient
Designed with busy school staff in mind, IRIS Ed:gen saves time and makes life easier for school staff, helping them to excel in their roles and boost outcomes for students. Multitask with ease by working in different parts of the system simultaneously, save time and effort by only having to input data once, and complete everyday tasks, like taking the register, with just one click.
Data at your fingertips
Cloud-based IRIS Ed:gen supports schools to unlock the power of real-time data via visual, easy-to-interpret (and interrogate) dashboards. Pre-configured role-based dashboards make it easy for staff to see everything from absences across the whole school to a breakdown of house points per year group.
Robust permissions
Manage data protection and control which staff can access and amend which data with simple to set-up, customisable permissions. Tailor access by module or access levels based on school type, phase of education, or job role.
Boost security with SaaS
Hosted in the cloud, IRIS Ed:gen optimises school operations and offers more secure data management. Disruptive updates are a thing of the past; with our software as a service (SaaS) model, schools can enjoy enhanced data security, single sign on and two factor authentication, seamless links with Microsoft and Google, and the ability to work any time, anywhere.
Spotlight on functionality
Unsure what your school needs most from an MIS? Our expert, Nic Clark, has the answers…
“As a former teacher, and now product manager for IRIS Ed:gen, I know a thing or two about what schools need from an MIS. Before joining IRIS Education, I experienced many MIS implementations; the good, the bad, and the darn right ugly! We’ve used this experience to help shape IRIS Ed:gen, a truly game-changing MIS platform that has the potential to transform how schools operate – and how students perform – for the better.”
“I know teachers (or former teachers, in my case) shouldn’t pick favourites but, with more than 40 modules available as standard, I can’t list them all. So here are my top three pieces of IRIS Ed:gen functionality that your school will LOVE.”
- Flexibly manage & track assessments
“One of the really great things about IRIS Ed:gen is how you can use the system to easily manage and monitor assessment data all in one place, without relying on third parties. You can customise this functionality however you like – by curriculum, assessment type, or grade set – and when you move to IRIS Ed:gen you can bring all assessment data with you.”“Trust me, once you’ve experienced this functionality, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!”
- Managing wellbeing
“Never before has prioritising wellbeing – for students and staff – been so important. IRIS Ed:gen’s dedicated wellbeing module empowers schools to spot and proactively deal with the issue, with automated alerts that identify patterns in behaviour and enable schools to take a child-first approach and make early and appropriate interventions”.
- Medical centre
“This module makes operating the school medical centre a breeze, while ensuring staff and students receive the best possible care. It allows schools to easily monitor the frequency staff and students access the medical centre and provides an automated mechanism to manage stock and ensure medicines are available and in appropriate condition when needed.”
“Ed:gen and Central have revolutionised the way data and insights are used within our trust, and we’re really excited about what else we’re going to be able to do over the next few years.”
