Education Business

Albany Software is empowering a growing number of schools and colleges with payment solutions that mean payroll and supplier payments can now easily be managed in-house.
    
Winchester College, Rugby School and Sussex Downs College are all using Albany Software’s electronic payment and document transfer solutions.  Used either as a stand-alone solution or integrated with other systems, Albany Software’s technology is a vital business tool, helping ease the burden of financial administration and improve time and cost economies in the streamlining of payroll and supplier payments processes.
    
Albany Software’s electronic payment solutions are becoming increasingly popular among educational payroll offices as schools and colleges realise they don’t need to rely on outsourced payment agencies to manage staff wages.
    
Timely, well-managed staff wages are so vital and outsourced payment agencies so variable in performance with exorbitant costs that a manageable in-house solution is fast becoming the most attractive option for education payroll managers. Managed in-house payroll has historically proved too time-consuming and costly due to processing numerous monthly cheques. Increasingly, the education sector is realising that payroll and supplier payments can all be done very quickly and cheaply at the touch of a button.
    
By taking advantage of Albany Software’s BACS technology, all educational salaries can be processed in minutes rather than days with just one point of data entry. Adrian Stafford-Jones, managing director of Albany Software, comments, “Albany’s e-Payment Software allows the connection, validation and authorisation of all payments electronically. Time and cost savings are significant and more convenient than cheques for staff and suppliers.”
   
Albany Software is a leading authority in the e-business market and provides a comprehensive portfolio of strategic software solutions designed to transform the delivery of documents, data and funds. It has already enabled over 12,000 customers in the UK to benefit from process automation, increased efficiency and significant cost reductions.
    
Among its portfolio of payment solutions is the enduringly popular ALBACS range of software. Albany Software is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and integrates with all leading financial systems to deliver seamless software solutions that meet the needs of businesses of any type and size. Albany recently partnered Microsoft, creating e-Payment for Microsoft Office Accounting 2008, powered by Albany Software. The company is also the leading authority on the forthcoming Faster Payments initiative which will enable businesses of all types to embrace same day transactions rather than having to wait three days for each payment to clear.
