"noLotsDivisionRationale": "The future data collection across all MOD Schools is to come from one supplier to ensure data is combined in to one analytical piece. Currently, data and analysis is kept separate across the two different systems and standards between all schools cannot be compared nor standardised. DCS must ensure performance and progress across all schools can be directly compared and be able to quickly identify issues. Having one system will also achieve cost saving measures as only one piece of software will be required. Additionally, staffing capacity within DCS means they do not have the resourcing to conduct the combining of two strands of analytical info."
