EP. 016 – Edtech Business Leader Q&A: Stephen Bilboe, WCBS

The next in our series of Business Leader Q&A sessions is with Stephen Bilboe, Sales & Marketing Director at WCBS.

Founded in 1984, WCBS specialises in providing integrated management systems to Independent & International schools across three main areas: Admissions, MIS & Finance.  They’ve recently invested heavily in delivering next generation, cloud native systems that use the latest technology to achieve a much better user experience for Independent and International Schools.  This culminated in the launch of HUBmis in October 2020.

Stephen and I chatted about WCBS and the many changes happening in the MIS sector, including:

  • Your focus is very much within the Independent and international schools market, do you see yourself ever moving into the maintained market?
  • What makes you different from other Independent MIS solutions?
    Have you found the Covid situation has impacted your business, do you see yourselves working differently going forward?
  • As an MIS business, what is going to be important to you over the next 2-3 years to continue to grow?
  • What’s next for WCBS?
We’ve split the interview into two parts to make it easier to digest. Enjoy!
