[SIMS] FMS for academies

[Achandler]

Some interesting reading here, we are an academy and we haven't changed from FMS so I have no idea what we're going to do for finance reporting

[Tilda]

We are looking at PS Financials as over 33% of Academies use it.

It does need SQL though, but can be on a virtual server and can also have a web portal - so those that are having other schools join them in a trust eg primaries would only need one purchase of software.

Tilda - you should ask how many academies chose FMS!

As a new academy we're going with PSFinancials as well. Unfortunately we're still using SIMS/FMS for personal as theres no budget (yet!) for a decent HR system. Have to say the PS Financials system looks very good.

@Soulfish- you wouldn't be using FMS for Personel as I am sure your salary commitments won't be going into FMS if you are using a different financial system

No we are definitely using SIMS/FMS for personal/HR purposes, while using a separate system for all financial transactions.

now now @Soulfish and @rh91uk play nice with each other and obviously when @Soulfish has issues with his FMS and Sims he will ask you @rh91uk to come spend a week with him at his new place to help sort it all out
