Siloed systems caused a data lag that delayed mission effectiveness

With an aging on-premises server Brock University Student Union (BUSU) faced limitations in accessing up-to-date financial information.

Reporting was cumbersome, tasks were manual, and simple things like processing AP invoices felt like an uphill battle.

It needed a modern, cloud-based solution to streamline operations and provide real-time financial insights for its diverse mix of nonprofit activities. 

We had to process AP invoices in batches, and if one invoice was wrong, the entire batch failed… we couldn’t continue much longer like that.

Choosing the right partner saves time and delivers results immediately

BUSU's trusted business partner - and Sage customer - suggested Sage Intacct, which impressed them with their detailed and phased approach: "The transition was seamless," Tan recalls.

Sage Intacct streamlined and transformed nearly all of BUSU’s financial processes. “We’re definitely saving staff time, eliminating manual processes, and we’ve gained so much more insight into our financials,” says Tan.

We weren’t just moving to a new platform—we were rethinking how we operate.

Cloud-based services give you the time back to boost your mission

The benefits of switching to Sage Intacct are lasting, according to Tan: “We’re in a position to make better, faster decisions. That’s priceless.”

BUSU is now equipped with the tools to continue driving forward and is more agile and efficient than ever.

“Now, we can focus on what really matters—serving the students…This is a win for everyone,” Tan concludes.

With less time spent on manual workflows, we can focus on more strategic financial tasks, boosting accuracy and productivity.
