Challenge
Budget preparation and review depended heavily on spreadsheets, manually exchanged files, and disconnected institutional processes.
This created several operational challenges:
- Financial information was distributed across multiple files and institutions.
- Different organizational levels required different permissions and responsibilities.
- Budget submissions needed structured review, correction, and resubmission cycles.
- Historical changes were difficult to track consistently.
- Consolidated financial oversight required significant manual effort.
- Existing financial data needed to be migrated without compromising integrity.
The system therefore needed to support not only data entry, but a complete institutional financial workflow.
