As a support service primarily to secondary schools in the area, the local authority operate an AQA Units administration system and service. The centre acts as a liaison and co-ordinating point between the AQA examination board and ~400 secondary schools.
There is now a single Admin system and a single School runtime system, which are fully integrated, i.e. there are no manual exports and imports. As well as the significant benefits in usability and functionality to the 400+ schools who are issued with the system, there are indeed resource benefits in the admin. side of the service - certain periodic tasks which took up to a week to complete with the old system can now be completed in less than a day.
