If I chose Option 1 (Three year order) do I have to pay <strong>for</strong> all three years in<br />

advance?<br />

No an invoice will be raised on an annual basis to cover the period 1 st April -31 st March.<br />

If I choose option1 but don’t want to renew after the first year what happens?<br />

Option 1 is a 3 Year commitment so you would have to pay the charges <strong>for</strong> years 2 and 3. (In<br />

exceptional circumstances such as when a school closes/merges with another school we would<br />

not raise an invoice <strong>for</strong> future years.)<br />

If you only wish to place an order <strong>for</strong> 1 year then Option 2 is available.<br />

Can I buy Hosting and Software upgrades without any support option?<br />

No our support service is included as part of our software upgrade service<br />

All the pricing options are based on Pupil banding how is that calculated?<br />

Banding is based on Full Time Equivalent (FTE) number of pupils at your school as per the<br />

January census return. (It includes pupils of non-statutory age)<br />

Do I have to buy a new licence if my school moves to Academy status?<br />

No your existing licence is transferrable at no extra cost.<br />

Is support and licencing <strong>for</strong> <strong>Integris</strong> G2 only available from <strong>RM</strong> directly and are there<br />

any other options available?<br />

As at 1 st April <strong>2013</strong> this is the only option <strong>for</strong> <strong>Barnet</strong> schools. Having developed the software<br />

and having a fully trained and dedicated support team specifically <strong>for</strong> our product we feel we<br />

are ideally suited to provide an excellent level of support service. If a school has an alternative<br />

suggestion in the future we are we are happy to discuss other options.<br />

There are other School MIS providers in the market, how can I be sure I’m getting<br />

good value <strong>for</strong> money if I renew?<br />

We have put our pricing together to represent excellent value <strong>for</strong> money but we appreciate<br />

some schools may wish to take this opportunity to review other options.<br />

When reviewing other options schools should consider that <strong>Integris</strong> G2 includes all the<br />

functionality listed on page 2 as standard (i.e. at no additional cost to the school). It has an<br />

unlimited user licence, also at no extra charge, allowing additional staff to access the system<br />

anywhere within the school or remotely (including home).<br />

It should also be noted that a change of system is likely to incur your school with substantial<br />

transition costs. The largest of which is likely to be the retraining of school staff to use a<br />

different MIS. (This will vary on how much functionality you currently use and how many staff<br />
