Switching made Simple
Your school's step-by-step guide on how to move MIS before your SIMS contract renewal

About the Guide
Here at Arbor, we've helped over 12,000 schools and 900 MATs to switch to our MIS, and it's transformed the way they work.
From working with this many customers, we know that switching MIS can seem like a daunting task - and many don’t know where to start.
We put together this guide to demystify the process. Inside you'll find timelines, checklists and recommendations from our tried and tested migration process.

Stuck in a long SIMS contract?
We know many schools in Cheshire are keen to switch to Arbor, but can't afford it because they're already committed to paying for SIMS until March 2027 or 2028.
No need to wait
The Pay-for-One Promise is our commitment that your school should only pay for one MIS licence at a time. Put simply: if you’re locked into paying for SIMS, we won’t ask you to pay for your core Arbor licence until that contract ends. You get all the benefits of switching to the UK’s leading cloud MIS, but don’t have to worry about double-paying in the process.
