3Sys

“The feedback I’m getting is overwhelmingly positive. People are stopping me around school and commenting on how good 3Sys is.”
Ian Lucas, Director of IT, Tonbridge School

“Those who have seen the system are very impressed with it, so I am sure teachers will be up and running with 3Sys very quickly.”
Karen Houghton, The King’s School, Chester

“Wowsers, that is super fast. A vast improvement on its predecessor.”
Ben Stanton, Princess Helena College

“3Sys combines a friendly and modern web interface with very powerful configuration options for school administrators so that we can present our staff with something that suits our school’s needs in the fewest clicks! Its widget and desktop structure is increasingly familiar and comfortable to users who can quickly tailor it to their particular needs and roles (e.g. Head of Year). 3Sys looks set to become one of WCBS’ most central and appealing offerings.”
Paul Baker, Director of Educational Innovation, The Perse School, Cambridge

“The new product is out of this world. On screen the product is just what we’ve been asking for, addressing Academic needs and wants”
Holmewood House School 

“All members of staff use WCBS software on a regular basis, and rely on it. In addition to being able to access timetable details of pupils, colleagues are increasingly confident when it comes to recording assessments and checking back on previous ones. Form Tutors now register their forms directly, enabling us to have done away with paper registers altogether”
Cokethorpe School

“Applications are increasingly browser-based and people are comfortable in that environment. The development of 3Sys Academic has moved the browser-based functionality to a whole new level.” Tonbridge School

“Using 3Sys for pupil reports is brilliant, so easy to access and use.
Manchester High School for Girls

“It’s so much easier using the system at home. It’s faster, very easy to navigate, easy to logon to now I have the address saved to my favourites and moves onto the next page automatically. I particularly like the fact that the girls’ names are listed on the left hand side and it’s just one click to get to another girl if you’ve forgotten something. I do hope we roll out all aspects of PASS in this format as it is so much more user friendly. Thanks.”
Manchester High School for Girls

“I found it really straightforward. It was easy and quick to access at home and the instruction sheet made it simple to use.”

PASS Finance

“PASS is very user-friendly from the independent school’s perspective, particularly with fees and accounts. This is a real advantage of specialisation, since WCBS know what we tend to want and need, covering all aspects of both sales and purchasing.

The WCBS support staff are incredibly helpful – this was most important in the early days of implementation, but the system’s ease of use means we need to contact them only rarely these days.”
Fiona Lister, Lord Wandsworth College

“We were one of the earliest users of PASS back in the Unix days, and have watched it grow in scope and functionality over the years.... We’re now on the verge of looking harder than ever before at the opportunities for developing the application, both for ourselves and in partnership with WCBS...We find PASS very easy to use, and would certainly not wish to move away from it.”
Alistair Wilkinson, Greshams

“PASS is a very satisfactory solution – it’s reliable and does the job, so it’s really not something that I have to worry about. On a day-to-day basis, it has certainly made us more efficient as a bursary. We are able to do more with the same number of people.”

“PASS is a very intuitive package that people find easy to pick up and work with from the earliest days. It’s consistent in its layout, and comes over very well in its overall look and feel. This is particularly important to us at times when we need maternity cover and other temporary help.”
Steven Little, Winchester College

webALUMNUS

"I really enjoy using webALUMNUS and have given it plenty of shining recommendations in the last few years! It's a great system, and your commitment to continuing improvements and customer service is always admirable."
Girls' school, SE England

"One of our main requirements in adopting a new database was to ensure we could still produce the hardcopy register. We have now established that webALUMNUS is flexible enough to accommodate the extra fields required for this, and have found it simple to retrieve the former pupil data using an export facility configured to address our requirements. Now that the extraction and formatting processes have been defined and written – and the data cleansed – we can produce the register and other variations easily in minutes rather than hours."
Boys' school, Scotland

WCBS Service

“I felt it was appropriate to write to let you know how much I was impressed by the recent support given by one of your support team.

Richard Legg was exceptionally patient and spent several long telephone calls guiding me through a number of problems associated with the installation of ePay and the smart card reader. This process had been complicated by the provision of a new computer to our accountant and the school changing our main bank.

We are indebted to WCBS and Richard in particular for his persistence in sorting out the problems and bringing us to a working solution.”
Chris Humphreys, Network Administrator, St Albans School
