Switching from Accessit
to SmartSuite
Moving your library system feels like a big deal. For FSI, it's routine — we've done it 1,000s of times. A dedicated onboarding specialist, a full data conversion, and a guarantee that covers you for the life of your subscription.
What Accessit users tell us
These are the reasons schools contact us. We hear them every week.
“Simple tasks need multiple pop-ups and windows”
SmartSuite was built from the ground up as a modern web app. Cataloguing kits, creating class loans, processing returns — all in one clean, single-window interface. No cascading pop-ups. No legacy desktop behaviour in a browser wrapper.
“Reporting is difficult and time-consuming”
SmartSuite includes pre-built reports for the most common needs — and if something's missing, you create it yourself in minutes. No IT ticket. No waiting. Just the data you need, when you need it.
“Owned by Follett — a US company, originally a NZ product”
FSI is Australian-owned and has served Australian school libraries for over 40 years. Your data is hosted in Australia. Your support team is in Australia. We're not going anywhere.
How switching works
Simple. Managed. Guaranteed.



From the moment you decide to switch, you have a named FSI team member managing your migration. One contact. One relationship. Your specialist knows your school's situation and sees the migration through to go-live.
FSI provides every new school with an online onboarding dashboard — a real-time view of every step in the process. You always know what has been done, what is in progress, and what comes next.
Your welcome document specifies exactly what data we need and in what format. Provide that, and FSI does the rest — conversion, configuration, testing, and go-live. Most schools are up and running within days.
FSI guarantees your conversion — unconditionally. If any issue with the converted data surfaces at any point during the life of your subscription, FSI will re-convert at no cost. No fine print. That's confidence in our work.
Everything included. No extras. No surprises.
