Implementation
A bespoke implementation journey for your one-of-a-kind school
Having been dedicated to Independent Schools for almost 40 years, we know that no two of you are the same. Your schools are Independent by name, and independent by nature, which is why we know the cookie cutter approach just does not work.
There is no one size fits all. With us, your school gets the bespoke implementation journeys you require, and we work closely with you to figure out exactly what that is.
The Process
Each implementation will be closely supported by a dedicated, qualified Project Manager, so you are in good hands. Whether it’s new academic, admissions, or finance software, you can find confidence in your personalised project plan, detailing each task required and when it needs to happen to ensure the software is a success in your school.
And we don’t stop there. Your Project Manager will be on hand to coordinate all the other internal teams at WCBS as your single point of contact and we’ll be there to see you through your first bill run or school reports run providing expertise and advice along the way.
To ensure your school benefits from a smooth transition and so that we can get you up and running as soon as possible – without cutting corners – we centre the implementation process around five key stages:

“Migrating to a new MIS is possibly the largest challenge a Bursar or school IT Director will face. WCBS Project Managers worked with extraordinary attention to detail when we moved over from a competitor product.”
