A Multi Academy Trust, or MAT, is an academy trust operating with more than one state-funded school. An ideal size of a MAT is between 12-20 schools, as this gives the trust an optimal size to be able to capture the benefits of economies of scale, gain greater efficiencies from market leading technologies to help better weather against economic, political and structural challenges.
Ultimately, these benefits put the trust in the best position to deliver greater value to the education of its pupils.
Microsoft are investing heavily into the education sector to support teachers in providing world class education for future generations, offering greater online learning resources and capabilities. With over 2,000 MATs operating with 5 or less schools, there is a huge opportunity for many to merge and take advantage of these new technology investments.
We too are passionate about supporting academies in their core mission; to improve the educational standards of pupils. TES have invested in tailoring the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central solution to MATs, ensuring they are able to streamline and increase efficiencies across their back-office processes.
Business Central is an integrated cloud finance/ ERP solution that enables MATs to easily distribute and control funding, providing both clear real-time cashflow visibility and multi-year forecasts.
Microsoft D365 Business Central makes it easier to control your finance operations, whilst simplifying the process of integrating new schools into the trust – enabling them to achieve more with less. Find out more about how Dynamics 365 Business Central can help your school or academy.
