  1. I purchased it via a reseller. Can pay on invoice. Edit: Happy to introduce you if you DM your email?
  2. Does ESS include SIMS Finance (Cloud)?
  3. All children or just those at a club? Seems a little strange to record every child leaving at the end of the school day?
  4. It can only improve. I agree with what you’re saying having been in the same position. I watched a demo on YouTube of Thorne Widgery and Xero. At £20 a month or something crazy like that, I certainly think it’s one I would look at in the future! Looks to do everything Access does and SIMS Finance at a much lower cost. https://www.thornewidgery.co.uk/xero-software/ There’s lots of videos on YouTube to give you a taster.
  5. Through Azure you can get free SendGrid SMTP.
  6. Could you not setup a handsfree conference phone on the reception counter?
  7. I think SIMS Primary exists but not sure in what form or how good it is. I know of one school in my area using it.
  8. When you put it like that it doesn’t seem worth £500m at all. Surely you could build and market something better for that?
  9. Do chasing cursors exist in your vision or scrolling marquee text? That’s worth money.
  10. Isn't it £8 a month or something just for the telephony licence and then you need a call package from a third party? I can see this costing more than a cheap mobile.
  11. https://mosyle.com/ This is worth a look too.
  12. A helpdesk system with a dedicated email address going to a specific queue?
  13. The monitor by DP looks much brighter. For example, the blue wallpaper is brighter against the blue wallpaper on the HDMI.
  14. Tweak in what way?
  15. I'll try that. If so it points to the HDMI cable?
  16. I have two monitors identical monitors. One is connected by DisplayPort and the other is HDMI. The HDMI seems washed out compared to the DP. Is this normal? If not, any pointers on how to fix? I've tried adjusting some settings in the Intel Control Panel.
  17. Have a look at Access Education. https://www.staffology.co.uk/ looks very good too.
  18. Is it your own payment system or an integration?
  19. Not that I am aware of. But it's only a username and password to login, so, if you can save a ton of money it seems a fair trade off.
  20. https://www.roombookingsystem.co.uk/pricing.asp This one is free and very good, however. https://www.classroombookings.com/ Edit: Free to host yourself or £66 a year hosted.
  21. Hope everything works out well. :-(
  22. Does that come up in a box before printing then?
  23. It’s called SIMS Finance and it’s very different to FMS. It’s based on Capita Integra. On the whole it works, however, it’s not fully refined just yet in my opinion. https://www.capita-sims.co.uk/products-and-services/sims-finance
  24. Access Finance https://www.theaccessgroup.com/education/finance/ Sage https://www.dayta.co.uk/for-academies/sage-for-education/ Xero https://www.thornewidgery.co.uk/xero-software/xfe/
  25. £1000 per school, or, £1000 for all of the schools in the MAT? If so, how many schools do you have? If you can post who you have looked at it may help us to provide feedback on any of them. For £1000 per year I wouldn't think there's many providers offering parents evening booking and online payments and communication.
