Introducing OTrack 2018

We’re really excited to be able to introduce OTrack 2018. We have included many improved features, all developed using modern technologies – allowing us to lay the foundations for future innovations in pupil tracking.

At OTrack we are always looking at ways to improve both the service that we provide, and the experience which a school has when using our software. As a result of extensive research and continuous user feedback, OTrack users will get access to many improved features with this upgrade.

OTrack 2018 is a free upgrade (1), and we will be migrating all OTrack users throughout the 2017/18 and 2018/19 academic years. All schools will be be using the improved features by September 2019.

• We will contact you to let you know when we expect to upgrade your account

Footnotes

(1) – The MIS connection is the result of a development between OTrack and Wonde, our MIS integration partner. There will be no cost for the setup of the MIS connection, as we are currently setting up all our schools to ensure the data connection is possible for each school (this is dependent on your MIS). Once the connection and integration with your school’s MIS system is confirmed, we will be in touch to discuss upgrading your OTrack software.

If the connection setup is successful, and you would like to use the MIS integration, we will be charging an annual fee of £75 (+vat).

If the connection setup is unsuccessful and/or you don’t want to use the integration, then you just need to let us know. Schools that don’t use the MIS integration link can add and update pupil records directly in OTrack. If you’re a new customer or an existing customer, we will add all your pupils for you in the initial set up – you will then need to manage pupil records directly in OTrack from then on.
