Bett2020: The aggregation problem

See this content in the original post

Bett 2020, by Terry Freedman

The scalability problem is rendered more acute when you discover several products you like the look of, all priced in a similar way. For example, at Bett2020 I looked at a learning management system and a safeguarding system. But if a school went for two or three products or services it would probably go bankrupt. That’s why services like the London Grid for Learning (now a national concern), which bundles a whole lot of services together and then makes them available to schools for one subscription are worth exploring. I’m not sponsoring the LGfL, just suggesting looking at one-stop shops.
