“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.”
