Project Manager | ParentPay Group | Worldwide

Description

SIMS Next Gen (SNG) and Finance Next Gen (FNG) are large-scale, multimillion-pound programmes focused on the development and migration to the next generation of School Management and Finance Management applications. These programmes aim to build on the proven legacy and unparalleled functionality of SIMS and FMS, delivering best-in-class, cloud-native products through a strategy of innovation while minimizing disruption.

In addition to the technical delivery, these programmes include a broader business readiness and adoption initiative that involves multiple stakeholders across ParentPay, as well as its partners and customers. To further enhance the customer experience, the technical and commercial alignment of ParentPay’s wider product set is planned, starting with Parental Engagement. This will involve transitioning customers from the current packages to a streamlined solution.
