We achieve that by sharing pastoral and academic information in a highly secure and compliant way. We are hugely excited to be joining the Elastik team and are looking forward to taking our products and services to the next level with their support”.
Brendan Nel will join Elastik as Product Director and will continue to work on supporting SixIntoSeven schools alongside a wider role within Elastik.
