Perfect for: Trust leaders not currently using Arbor MIS

Rolling out a new MIS (Management Information System) across your trust can feel like a daunting task. That’s why we’ve brought together Karen Neville, the Director of Operations at Watergrove Trust, and Nick Doy, the Head of Data Quality at Nicholas Postgate Trust, to discuss their experience of migrating and implementing Arbor across all of their schools.

Get an exclusive insight into how and why Watergrove, a 5 school MAT, and Nicholas Postgate, a 28 school mixed-phased trust, chose Arbor - including what their journey was like after procurement.

Chaired by Arbor’s Head of Professional Services, Emma Sharples, this panel discussion will cover a range of topics, including:

- Helpful tips on how to procure a new system successfully (and in a hassle-free way)
- How to roll out new software in a way that works for all of your schools
- What moving MIS looks like during a pandemic
- What the quick wins were after choosing Arbor, and what these look like 6 months in

There’ll also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions to help with your own trust’s procurement decision.
