The Power of Spaulding Ridge Technology Solutions for Higher Education

Success Story

North Carolina Central University​

The Challenge

NCCU’s budget process was cumbersome and full of manual processes. Finance leaders needed a solution that allowed for simultaneous users to view data and make updates all while maintaining reliable numbers. The University​ was on a tight timeline to deploy their new solution.

How They Achieved Success

We worked with NCCU to implement a zero-based budgeting solution through Anaplan to ease user adoption and improve the management of the budget development process. As a result of our work, NCCU:

  • Improved transparency & visibility
  • Saved working time through improved workflow & approvals
  • Greatly reduced overhead and enabled change
