Moving a school management information system to the cloud is now close to standard practice, but "cloud-based" on its own tells a school almost nothing about how secure that hosting actually is. Two vendors can both describe their product as cloud-based while differing significantly in hosting location, certification and the practical protections behind the marketing term. Due diligence needs to go past the label.
Timing is the second decision, and in a school the calendar decides it for you. The gaps between terms, and the summer break in particular, give you a window to move without a live term relying on the switch. Avoid cutting over in the middle of admissions or reporting season. Agree a clear go-live date, keep the old system readable for a defined period afterwards, and confirm you can still retrieve historic records if you need them. Never delete the old data until the new system is verified and signed off.

Data mapping comes first. List every type of record your current system holds, from pupil details and attendance to finance and communication history. For each one, agree where it will live in the new platform and what format it needs to be in. This is where problems surface early, because two systems rarely store the same information in exactly the same way. Run a test import on a sample before the full move, check the results field by field, and fix the mapping before you commit real data.
Every MIS supplier has a tagline. Compass Education uses "Helping Learning Thrive". It reads well, but a school business manager rightly wants to know what a phrase like that means in daily practice. The honest answer is that it should show up as time given back to staff and clearer communication with families, not as a slogan on a login screen.
