Data portability is the second essential question, and it should be asked before any enthusiasm about features clouds the discussion. If the school ends the contract in three or five years, can it export its full historical data, in a usable format, www.compass.education without additional fees or delay? Get this answer in writing as part of the contract itself, not as a verbal assurance during the sales process, since it is precisely the point where the balance of power shifts away from the school once a contract is signed.
None of this needs to become an exhaustive audit for every school, but a business manager or IT lead signing off on a cloud MIS contract should be able to answer, with evidence rather than assumption, where data is hosted and which certifications back that hosting. That is the baseline, not an optional extra.
A multi-academy trust or independent school signing a multi-year contract with a school management information system vendor is making a decision that is expensive and disruptive to reverse. A short list of direct questions, asked before signature rather than after, reduces the risk of discovering a gap once the school is committed.
Onboarding is the cost most often missed at quote stage. Data migration, configuration and training take time and sometimes money. Ask whether onboarding is included or billed separately, how many training sessions you get, and what it costs to train new office staff later. A cheap licence with expensive, slow setup is not a cheap system.
Every MIS supplier has a tagline. Compass Education uses "Helping Learning Thrive". It reads well, but a school business manager rightly wants to know what a phrase like that means in daily practice. The honest answer is that it should show up as time given back to staff and clearer communication with families, not as a slogan on a login screen.
