Bromcom

Long-established UK cloud MIS and finance vendor for schools and MATs

Overview

Bromcom Computers Plc is a UK MIS vendor based in Bromley, south-east London; its website says it is marking 40 years in business[19]. It reports 5,600+ schools, more than 390 multi-academy trusts, more than 1.2 million students and 3.3 million users[19].

Bromcom sells MIS editions for primary, secondary, all-through and special schools, local authorities and multi-academy trusts, and covers England with dedicated pages for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales[19]. Its distinguishing feature is finance: Bromcom offers a cloud accounting system integrated with the MIS for maintained schools and a separate MAT Finance product, so a trust can run pupil data and accounts in one vendor’s software[19]. For trusts it also sells Vision and Vision-X data consolidation, a Virtual School service-sharing model and a MAT Enterprise bundle; families use the MyChildAtSchool app for clubs, trips and payments[19].

The company lists Cyber Essentials Plus certification and G-Cloud framework availability on its site[19]. Like most UK vendors it publishes no prices. It mentions a buy-back option for schools leaving a contract with another provider, without published terms.
