Option 1

Support & training

Site admin overflow

We can support your in-house system administrator by

  • Handling more complex queries that they may not have the knowledge or experience to manage, like workflow design, Xports or XMerge for example
  • Taking regular BAU workload off their desk, like third-party valuation reconciliations or MI reporting
  • Providing cover during holidays, sick leave or maternity leave
Regular Xplan training

This includes

  • Training your business practitioners on how to use Xplan
  • Making sure your site administrators have a solid grasp of Xplan
  • Providing training for your in-house trainers
  • Preparing visually appealing user guides

Once you’ve chosen your preferred ‘bundle’ of monthly hours, you choose to spend them on whatever you want – site admin, training, or a combination of the two – the choice is entirely yours.

This service is charged at an hourly rate, which depends on the number of hours committed to each month. Put simply, the more hours you choose to use, the lower the fee.

Alternatively, use us as little or as much as you need, and we’ll simply invoice you at the end of the month using a standard pre-agreed fixed pay as you go rate.

Option 2

Fully outsourced Site Admin

We can take on all the system administration duties for your Xplan site along with operational tasks such as

  • Xplan configuration
  • Regular data feed reconciliation checks
  • Management of joiners, movers and leavers
  • Management of your group hierarchy if applicable, to ensure data visibility and workflows behave as intended
  • Management of your Xports, including the creation of new reports and the setup of schedules and recipients
  • Template Maintenance (new or complex XMerge coding is usually charged separately)
  • Training not included in this package but can be arranged on a bespoke basis at any time for an additional fee

Rates for this service vary according to the number of licenced Xplan users and the type of Xplan site your business uses.

Xplan Health Check

Discover what’s working and what’s not.

Many of our clients find that a great way to start working with Evotra is to have a Health check

This gives us the opportunity to take a close look at how you’re using Xplan, see what’s working well and identify those areas where there is room for improvement.

At the end, you’ll get a detailed, bespoke report broken down into six key areas with a set of clear actions.

We charge a simple flat fee of £1,000 + VAT for our Xplan Healthcheck, but it’s FREE if you then choose to become a client*.

* we will reimburse the full amount after the first three months

FAQ's

I can get xplan support through Iress Connect and Iress Community. Do I need rEsolve as well?

Quite possibly, yes. We work closely with Iress and aim to compliment, not replace, their support services. Those services can be extremely useful (and we encourage all our clients to actively use them), but it would be unreasonable to expect any technology vendor to make their technical guidance perfectly applicable to every business, especially with a system as configurable as Xplan. That’s where we come in. Our experts come from a combination of both wealth and technology backgrounds, so we can work closely with you to review your operating model, help improve your in-built workflows, design an effective support and change process for you, drive user adoption and cleanse your legacy data, as well as simply answering your Xplan queries. We can also adjust our support and training services to be completely bespoke to your business. At the same time, we’re not restricted to just Xplan services. If you need assistance integrating other technology solutions or creating a data warehouse outside of Xplan, for instance, we can help with that too.

How much does it cost?

Every business is different, and we’re really happy to cater to bespoke needs, so it does vary. Most of our rEsolve clients choose to engage us for a fixed number of hours per month, to help with their budgeting and planning. We’ll then commit to delivering that much effort, on whatever they need, at a fixed hourly rate. The more hours you commit to per month, the lower the hourly rate. Other clients choose to fully outsource all their Xplan activity to us, in which case we’ll agree a fixed price based on the number of licenced Xplan users in the business. As a guide, our aim is for this to cost less than it would cost you to hire the necessary number of in-house site administrators – and with the added benefit of our unrivalled expertise and removing the risk of key person dependencies if you were to try to resource it in-house.

How many hours per month might I need?

It really does depend on a number of factors, including the number of licenced Xplan users in your business, the amount of BAU activity you’d like us to help with, and the extent and complexity of your enhancement roadmap. But for context, most of our clients select somewhere between 10 and 40 hours per month. We’ll be happy to have that conversation with you to get it right. And of course remember that you can always change your mind and we can just adjust things as we go.

Can you help with Xmerge reports?

Yes, absolutely! We understand that one of the most complex areas of Xplan site management is the creation and maintenance of bespoke Xmerge report templates. We are highly experienced at helping our clients create and maintain beautifully branded client valuation reports, review packs, and other client-facing documentation

Can you help with our third-party datafeeds and valuations?

Yes, absolutely! You might also find it interesting to have a read of our article on that topic, which you can read here.
