FMS Multiview (Multi Academy Trust)

[SimonCygnetIT]

Hi everyone

 

Is anyone out there using this piece of software, FMSMultiview, for their multi academy trusts.

 

Streamlined financial monitoring for multi-academy trusts | Capita SIMS

 

It's a Capita/HCSS collaboration and we have a trust that is buying it. I just wanted to know if anyone else out has it and how easy it is to get going and how they are getting on with it please .

i would of thought most trusts are with PS Financials. it seems to be doing well.

Perhaps it's time for another FoI request!!

Nope. That would mean FoI every academy.

I would have thought the EFA?

Didnt think that was as 'defined' as the census - more a spreadsheet

You're probably right but it would be fun.

Not sure even I would find that fun, three ways I think you could do it

 

- Follow the money, if an Academy has paid PS Financials, chances are they are using PS Financials - problems, could be paid via reseller or it could be bundled - like with MIS licensing (ie FMS)

- Get the returns updated so they can be automatically completed via finance system (like Census) so you could reliability extract supplier from return - red tape anyone?

- Ask - which is a lot of leg work. And will most likely annoy a lot of folks.
