Hi everyone,
I'm part of a small team, comprising of teachers, data managers and senior leader that are developing a new Management Information System (MIS) for schools called Loudwater (https://loudwater.io), and we're looking for honest feedback from the people who use these systems every day.
We've heard plenty of frustrations over the years about existing MIS platforms, whether that's usability, reporting, performance, integrations, support or simply the cost. Rather than building something in isolation, we want to involve school staff throughout development so that the platform is shaped by the people who'll actually be using it.
We're currently inviting school leaders, business managers, office staff, IT teams, teachers and anyone else involved with their school's MIS to take a look and tell us what they think. Good, bad or ugly, we genuinely want honest feedback, even if it's critical.
One of our key goals is to make Loudwater affordable for every school, while creating something that's intuitive, flexible and saves staff time.
If you'd be interested in having a look, we'd be happy to provide access to a sandbox environment with sample data so you can explore the platform. There's absolutely no ongoing obligation, if you have 15 minutes or a couple of hours, we'd appreciate whatever time you can spare.
Even if you don't want to try the platform, I'd love to hear what your biggest frustrations are with your current MIS. If you could change one thing about it, what would it be?
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their thoughts.
Gary
