EPM Connect MIS Integration
Understand what your MIS can currently support through Wonde.
What EPM Connect can do for your school or trust?
EPM Connect can integrate with supported Management Information Systems (MIS) via Wonde, removing the need for repeated manual exports and re-keying of staff information. The information that can be shared, and whether it can be written back, depends on your MIS provider and the specific data area.
Connected through Wonde
EPM Connect integrates with supported MIS platforms using Wonde as the secure data link between your school systems and EPM.
Availability varies
What can be shared differs by MIS provider and by data area. Some areas are fully supported, others are partial, and some are not yet available.
You stay in control
Integration depends on your permissions and approvals. Nothing is shared without the right data sharing routes being in place.

What we need from you
To assess and set up your integration, we will ask you to confirm a few things. Having these ready helps us move quickly.
Step 1
Let us know which Management Information System your school or trust uses.
Named MIS administrator
Provide a named contact who administers your MIS and can support the connection.
Data Owner
Provide a named contact responsible for maintaining data accuracy and resolving data discrepancies within your MIS
Read-only or writeback interest
Tell us whether you are interested in read-only integration or future writeback capability.
Confirm data scope
Review the employee data fields that will be shared with EPM Connect. This helps set expectations for the data needed and highlights any gaps before implementation.
Confirm integration scope
If applicable, tell us whether the integration should be enabled for all schools in your trust or only for selected schools.
Review and validate
Review a sample of synchronised records to confirm data accuracy before go-live. This reinforces that the school/trust owns the quality check rather than assuming the integration will magically fix data issues.
Go-live approval
Confirm you are happy with the synchronised data and ready to activate the integration.
Register your interest in MIS integration
Please complete this form to help us understand your current MIS setup and the type of integration you may require.Submitting the form does not guarantee an immediate integration date. We will use the information provided to assess compatibility, plan future onboarding cohorts and contact you regarding the next steps.
Frequently asked questions
No. MIS integration is optional. It is designed to save time and reduce manual data entry, but you can continue to work with EPM Connect without it if you prefer.
Wonde acts as the secure data link between your MIS and EPM Connect. Your school or trust grants permission through Wonde, which then makes the agreed information available to EPM Connect.
Yes. Even where some areas are limited or not yet available, you can still register your interest. We will assess what is possible for your provider and configuration and let you know the realistic scope.
No. Capability varies by MIS provider and by data area. Some providers support a broad read-only integration, some also support writing certain information back, and some data areas are not yet available for any provider.
Read-only integration means EPM Connect can read information from your MIS, such as employee and absence details. Writeback means certain approved information, such as absence records, can be written back into your MIS. Writeback availability depends on the provider.
Your details are recorded, and we will follow up to confirm your MIS provider, Wonde connection and approval routes, then assess the right integration approach for your school or trust.
