We worked with the organization to implement a zero-based budgeting solution through Anaplan to ease user adoption and the management of the budget development process.

Leveraging Reserve Reporting to Help Plan for the Future

Reserve reporting allows a University to sustainably carry out and adjust for changes in their missions and objectives. Our experience is that many institutions struggle to get their arms around their reserves; as well as determining how they are bucketed and planned to be used.

Providing clear data regarding the amount of reserves an institution has and needs is instrumental to reporting the present, as well as planning and meeting the needs of the future. For this to be completed an institution needs to consolidate their source systems to gather this information and align funds into various categories using a technology system.
