2017 Project Excellence Awards

We are pleased to announce that we are the winner of the Project Excellence Awards in 2017

Our Project Overview

Our greatest achievement! We have created an innovative software to support Special Schools with an in-depth analysis of their current pupils. Thanks to technology, we have gained a significant competitive advantage and are supporting special schools to identify strengths and weaknesses. To achieve this, we have undergone many organisational changes to gain early access to Department for Education 2017 data including certifications in ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Certification and more.

Our Success

We have witnessed our software support schools in transformational change (including coasting schools and schools facing challenging circumstances) by providing them with a work ethic to achieve an effective evaluation of progress, set targets and support school improvement interventions. We would like to acknowledge that it was the positive feedback that we received from providing ASSET, which initially stimulated our application.

We are so pleased that our efforts to improve schools has been recognised and acknowledged. This has encouraged us to continue making our software better and further support schools.

The significance of our innovative IT product has been made evident to BCS, the impact has been noticed and we could not be more proud.

‘Innovative new software products making the biggest contribution to business technology.’
