Let's make one thing clear from the beginning: Migrating to SpeedAdmin Play is Easy! But we don´t stop there. Why only GO easy when you can GO extraordinary? So, if you want to evolve, improve, and truly take your music service to the next level, you’re in the right place.
Migrating to a new system can feel like a big step — but with SpeedAdmin Play! it’s more than just a technical upgrade.
It’s an opportunity to rethink and optimise how your music service works.
That’s why we’ve created the NEXT LEVEL Model — a simple, practical framework that helps you move beyond migration and turn the process into a true transition.
The model works step by step — you can apply it to individual areas of functionality, or take the full journey, exploring each step thoroughly before moving on with your findings.
SpeedAdmin Play! introduces not just new features, but new concepts and new ways of thinking.
It’s built to connect people, simplify workflows, and support your service in ways the legacy system never could.
Embrace this phase as your chance to explore:
• What new tools and options are now available?
• Which time-consuming steps can now be streamlined or automated?
• How can new solutions empower teachers, admins, and families alike?
How to do this
1. Explore the concepts – SpeedAdmin Play! is built on key concepts that form the foundation of its logic and structure. Understanding these gives you the perfect introduction to the Play! mindset.
As part of our MeetOurConcept campaign, you will find introductions and in-depth blogs in the SpeedAdmin Play!Book, showing how these concepts can become your foundation for working in Play!.
2. Understand the new functionality – Dive deeper into how each concept translates into actual features and what possibilities they bring. The Product Play!Book gives you the perfect overview to start with.
3. See the functionality in action – Join our quarterly webinars to experience the functionality live and get inspired by how other schools are using the system.
Before jumping in, take a moment to reflect on how your current setup works. is working.
• Are your processes still serving you well?
• Could small adjustments lead to big improvements?
By evaluating what you have and planning how to use the new functionality, you ensure your migration truly moves your service forward — not just to a new platform, but to a better way of working.
How to do this step
1. Check if the new functionality fits your needs – Consider whether the new features align with your existing workflows, or if a rethink could improve efficiency. And are you open to change?
2. Weigh the benefits of rethinking – We can’t please everyone with every feature, but working against the system logic rarely delivers the best results. Identify where you see improvements, where it fits your processes, and where you may choose to keep old habits — knowing this might mean some manual work.
3. Plan your migration approach – Do you prefer a simple setup handled by a few key people, or a broader team effort? Will you follow the standard migration with online meetings, or add onsite training or group sessions with other clients? Think about what kind of change process works best for your organisation.
Success starts with shared understanding.
Use this step to align expectations between everyone involved — SpeedAdmin, your admin team, teachers, and even parents or students.
Communicate upcoming changes clearly. When everyone knows what to expect and why the change is happening, the transition becomes smoother and far more positive.
How to do this step
1. Give feedback – Just as you’re adapting to Play!, we’re continuously improving it. Share your thoughts and experiences — your feedback helps shape the future of the platform.
2. Create a clear communication plan – Identify who needs to know about the changes, what they need to prepare for, and how to communicate both the benefits and the practical steps. Celebrate new possibilities, but be transparent that change works best when everyone moves together.
3. Watch our Change Management webinar – gain practical insights and inspiration on how to turn a system switch into a meaningful transformation. This session offers practical strategies for navigating change with confidence, engaging your team effectively and embracing the opportunities that come with adopting a new system — all grounded in the experience of our guest speaker. You’ll walk away with fresh perspectives and actionable ideas to help you see change not as a disruption, but as a chance to grow.
4. Align with your SpeedAdmin Account Manager – Discuss when, what, and how your migration will happen. This is where your actual journey begins.
Once the foundation is in place, training becomes the fun and easy part.
With access to learning materials, video guides, and support from our consultants, your staff can quickly build confidence in Play!.
Each user group — from admins to teachers — will find learning tailored to their needs, making the process not only manageable but energising.
How to do this step
