Keep a simple checklist through the whole project: data mapped, test import verified, go-live date agreed, old system retained, staff trained, Compass Education Ireland first reports produced and checked. Assign an owner to each item so nothing slips.
Data governance is the first. Publicly funded and diocesan schools are accountable for how records are held, shared and retained. Ask where data is hosted, which certifications the provider holds and how access is restricted by role. A system with clear, role-based permissions and a full audit trail makes it far easier to show that records are handled properly when a governor, auditor or authority asks.
Finally, do the due diligence any buyer should. Check certifications, hosting and the support model, and ask to speak with independent schools of a similar size. The UK and Irish market includes several capable providers, so you can compare properly. Score billing, catering, parent experience and the admin core against your own priorities, weight them honestly, and let the finance and operations modules carry as much weight as the headline features. For an independent school, those are the parts parents notice every week.
Start with the support model. Ask specifically whether support is UK-based, what hours it operates, and what the guaranteed response time is for a genuine outage versus a routine query. A vendor's answer here should be specific and contractual, not a general assurance about "excellent customer service," which means little without a defined service level attached to it.
Parent engagement is the third pillar. Families now expect timely notices, simple payments and clear messaging. Look for an MIS that gives parents one app for updates, consent forms and account balances, rather than three disconnected tools that create more questions for the office.
