SIMS.net pilot group update
- It has recently been announced by Capita that the next release of
SIMS.net (required to perform year end routines) will not be with the
EDIT Team before June 24th (and may be delayed further should any bugs
be identified). It is deemed prudent not to convert schools data until
the version allowing year end procedures is available. Therefore, and
with regret, it is not possible to offer pilot schools SIMS.net much
before the end of term. Further information will be posted here as it
becomes available. |
