FAQs

PASS-hosted puts passFINANCE in the cloud. It is the upgraded version of passFINANCE offering schools increased security, improved UX and remote access, without compromising on the functionality of their finance system.

We’ll migrate you to the cloud, and you continue to use the system you know and love.

Your passFINANCE solution, along with most routines and functionality remain the same.

The main differences are:

  • Logging in (you benefit from 2FA)
  • Uploading and downloading documents. It’s still really simple, just a slightly different routine. Check out the video to be super clear on this.
  • Physical printing of receipts and documents using hardware
  • ODBC queries will just need our tech team to configure them

Your passFINANCE solution, along with most routines and functionality remain the same.

With it now being in a cloud environment, when logged in you can use Outlook in the cloud to send emails straight from PASS in the same way you do currently. PTX will also pick up local settings, so it just needs to be pointed to the cloud, and a routine modification is all that’s required for SSL Post. Functionality again does not change.

  • Improved UX: We’ve been working hard on bringing the passFINANCE up to date, to match its functionality. This upgrade will only be available to our hosted users.
  • Remote Accessibility: Access passFINANCE from any browser, giving you the freedom to manage financial tasks from anywhere, at any time.
  • Cloud without compromise: Our PASS-hosted solution empowers your school’s IT team to meet its cloud objectives, whilst allowing your finance team to continue using the solution they know and love, without a complex migration.
  • Minimal Disruption, Maximum Improvement: PASS-hosted maintains the feature-rich passFINANCE you love, ensuring a smooth transition with no additional training required.
  • Managed Service: Bid farewell to the need for a local server on your premises. This not only saves you time and resources but also simplifies system management, including backups, updates and full disaster recovery.
  • Disaster Recovery and Security: Our robust service includes disaster recovery provisions, safeguarding your crucial financial data with enhanced security measures.
  • Seamless Updates: Leave behind the hassle of termly updates. With PASS-hosted, all system updates are expertly managed for you, ensuring you always have access to the latest features and improvements.
  • Enhanced Support: Enjoy improved support times as remote issue resolution becomes more efficient, eliminating the need for Team Viewer connections.

Following a call with our Senior Technician, the upgrade takes place over two days.

The first day of install is the environment and getting everything set up, and the second day is onboarding users and making sure they are happy they have everything they need.
