Manage every aspect of your school's critical data.
A Single Source of Truth
for Your School
For nearly 40 years, TASS has helped Australian independent K–12 schools bring their operations together in one platform. Today, over 400 schools use TASS for finance, payroll, administration, and community engagement. Learn how TASS can help streamline your school's operations and empower your community.
How the Migration Works
We begin with your school’s current systems and move through each stage in a planned sequence: governance, discovery, configuration, migration, training and go-live. Your team approves each stage before the next begins. During discovery, we confirm your timeline based on your data, the systems being replaced and your school calendar.A dedicated Project Facilitator is assigned, the plan and milestones are agreed, and your school nominates its Project Manager.
TASS is installed and configured to your design, and guided sessions map every field from your outgoing system across to it.
Your data is profiled for quality before mapping begins. A full trial migration is loaded for your team to review and approve. Then the old system is quarantined, the final migration runs, and the results are reconciled and signed off.
Role based training for administration, finance, and teaching staff, with payroll proven through a parallel run before it goes live.
On site support from day one, advanced training once staff are working live, then a formal project closure with your team.

One Record for Easy Reconciliation
TASS includes the general ledger, parent accounts, fee schedules, accounts payable, purchasing, fixed assets, and payroll. Finance and student administration share the same records, so a fee raised against a student appears in the ledger without an overnight transfer between systems.
Your school holds one vendor contract covering student administration, finance, payroll, the portals, and the Orbit apps. Licence renewals and integration costs reduce as each superseded system is retired.
School Finance Made Easy
School finance has been part of TASS for nearly 40 years. Parent accounts, fee schedules, the general ledger, purchasing, fixed assets, and payroll run inside the platform, and your finance team keeps approval and control over each process.
One Platform to Support
TASS is web based and hosted in Australia on AWS Sydney. The platform holds ISO 27001:2022 certification, audited externally against the current version of the standard, and keeps a complete audit trail.
API access is available for the integrations your school builds. Schools that maintain their own infrastructure can run TASS on premises, with the school responsible for servers, backups, and update cycles.
One Place to Complete a Task
Enrolments, attendance, timetabling, medical records, academic reporting, learning support, and pastoral care share one student record. Medical, custody, and risk alerts appear on the screens where staff need them. Parents update their own contact details, submit absences, and book parent teacher interviews through Parent Orbit. Those updates reach the student record without office staff retyping them. Role based training runs before go live and covers the tasks your team performs daily. Customer Care answers questions from the first week onwards.
Teaching Continues While the Change Happens
A Say in Where the Platform Goes
TASS development is customer-driven. Schools raise requirements through the customer forum, and the product team publishes the direction it is working towards. Schools that engage with that process influence it.
API access supports the integrations your school builds. Orbit covers mobile for staff, parents, and students.
What the Board Sees During the Change
Each phase produces documentation the board can read: the data mapping record, the hosting and certification detail, and the schedule for switching off each system. Vendor contracts reduce as that schedule completes.
TASS Orbit connects teachers, administrators, and parents around student outcomes once the portals are live. Schools in your state that have completed this change can speak with you about how it went.
How the Change Runs
Note: This is an indicative phasing. The dates depend on the condition of your data, the systems you run today, and your academic calendar.Backed by Expert Teams

Our Migration Approach
We help schools move to TASS at a pace that suits them. Existing tools can stay in place while the core system transitions, and they are only retired once the replacement is proven in your school. This gradual approach reduces risk and supports a smoother changeover.
- Keep the tools your staff already use well, at first
- Move student records, finance, and payroll onto one spine
- Retire systems as each replacement proves out
- Contracts, licences, and integration surface reduce over time

Common Questions About Switching
No, TASS operates alongside your current systems throughout the change. Each system is switched off on a date your school agrees.
TASS Professional Services runs discovery, data mapping, configuration, and role based training. Your staff make the decisions about how your school works, and answer questions about your existing data. The implementation team handles the migration itself.
User Acceptance Testing guidelines are provided to help your school's staff verify critical records before go-live. Post go-live support then falls under the standard helpdesk SLA.

Increase Efficiency with
Workflow Automation
In the modern online era, where quick access to information and streamlined services are ‘the norm’, people expect things instantly. Tedious paper-based processes feel even more unbearable by comparison.
TASS’s comprehensive set of workflows allows you to digitise and streamline tasks, minimise room for error, and connect people to processes. Read our blog to learn how workflows can increase efficiencies in schools.
Improve Data Integrity with One Central Database
Schools have vast amounts of information they need to receive, process, and store, which can often get lost in transit between departments and systems, causing blockages when information needs to be shared.
TASS's single source of truth for all Student, Finance, Payroll, and Teaching and Learning data helps remove silos, minimise double handling, and empowers employees with the data to make smarter, more informed decisions.

The complete web-based solution provides not only device diversity but also the freedom to choose how the software is deployed.
Whether hosted in the 'Cloud' or on-premises, TASS gives your school the freedom to work in a way that suits your school.
