“Working with Novatia provided us with an objective analysis of what was in place across all our academies so that we could be confident about the information we were using to make our decisions. The Data Audit provided a clear, visual oversight of how data was flowing between all the different products used in our Trust and has meant our MIS procurement and implementation took into account all the integrations that were required so the dataflow was maintained.”
“The Novatia team were all really friendly and down to earth. Their consultants all come from an educational background, and you can tell that they put the educational aspect front and centre when designing and delivering the ICT element."
“The comprehensive Data Audit has given us clear oversight of the data across all our schools and led to the development of a coherent data strategy. Working with Novatia has supported our Trust at every step.”
“I wanted to ensure we had well-negotiated contracts with high-quality suppliers that delivered the services specified and all at an excellent price...we're delighted with the results so far.”
“Novatia worked alongside Ofsted, complementing our internal knowledge of the business with first-rate project management capability.”
