New name for Star Payroll Professional

FAQs

Star Computers Limited joined forces with IRIS Software Group in May 2018. Since then, we’ve continued providing best in class payroll software to bureaux, schools and businesses.

As part of Star’s evolution within IRIS Software Group, we will be rebranding Star Payroll Professional to IRIS Payroll Professional. This change will take affect from 1st May 2019 and will not impact any functionality changes. However, we realise you may have some questions which are answered below. Please contact your account manager if you need further clarity.

What does it mean for me as a customer?

We will continue to provide high levels of service, as we embrace our new brand. There are no changes to your contacts or support team, and they will be available on the same phone numbers. Our email addresses will be changing shortly.

What does it mean for my payroll software?

Please be assured we will continue to invest in Payroll Professional and follow our current development plans to meet your future needs. In the coming months, you’ll notice some cosmetic changes including a new colour scheme and logo in your software. You will also see IRIS branding in our communications and on the website.

What benefits will I see?

IRIS Software Group is the UK’s largest privately held software company and one of the most trusted providers of mission-critical software and services.

With the IRIS brand, resources and marketing might, you can be assured of complete peace of mind for your payroll software.

What do I do if I want to increase my Star licence?

The upgrade process has evolved so you will now be asked to sign an order form.  Once this has been returned, it will be processed within 36 hours. Please contact your account manager in the normal way to receive the order form.

Are there any changes to the development plan you have previously shared?

No, we are continuing with the same development plan. Payroll Professional is a strategic product within the IRIS payroll portfolio.

Who do I contact regarding invoice queries?
