Merton College Oxford |
Merton College OxfordUsers of EnterpriseMRM for Schools & CollegesMerton College is one of the smaller Oxford colleges, with EnterpriseMRM looking after approximately 450 students and up to 100 fellows at any time. Two major requirements of the College were integration of a Student Billing system with Sage Line 100 accounts and the ability to export data simply to Microsoft Excel. The College Accountant, says "Accounting Answers listened to our problems and understood our requirements. We had identified a number of operations which could be improved and these have been delivered as specified." The College administers all information required to manage accommodation and course fees plus expense billing. Each member of the college is classified as a student, fellow, alumni or tutor, and then lodging details, accommodation charges, utilities etc are attached to each record. In addition, course fees are filed with method of payment or funding and details of the funding body, for example LEA or EPB. The memo system attached to each contact allows comments to be recorded and shared comments and the solution provides a 'to do' list as a daily reminder. Access to linked records is via a series of screen tabs, so for any enquiry, the relevant information is at the user's fingertips. "We have been extremely pleased with the support and service from Accounting Answers." the College Accountant continued. "The modifications have been relatively inexpensive compared to previous experience and the system has proven excellent value for money. When installing the system we took the opportunity to streamline our operation. With EnterpriseMRM we are able to check, correct and confirm all related financial transactions and only then do we transfer the key information into Sage Line 100."
