Switching from Softlink Oliver
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 Oliver users tell us
These are the reasons schools contact us. We hear them every week.
“Reports require Oliver's team to build them”
SmartSuite includes pre-built reports for the most common needs — and if something's missing, you create it yourself in minutes. No request. No waiting. No cost.
“No Australian curriculum mapping”
ACARA-Sync automatically maps your entire collection to the Australian Curriculum — by learning area, strand, and year level. Oliver has no equivalent. It's exclusive to SmartSuite.
“Owned by Constellation Software — a Canadian private equity firm”
FSI is Australian-owned and has served Australian school libraries for over 40 years. Your data stays in Australia. Your support team is in Australia.
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. No call centre hand-offs. Your specialist knows your school's situation and sees the migration through to completion.
FSI provides every new school with an online onboarding dashboard — a real-time view of every step in the process. You always know what's been done, what's happening now, and what comes next. Full transparency throughout.
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.
