Customer Case Studies
Logan University is a private institute focused on chiropractic and health science education with a world-class faculty and state-of-the-art facilities. The business leaders were looking to move away from some of the old-fashioned manual and paper-based processes in place that they felt were holding them back when it came to agility and efficiency.
A switch to Unit4’s ERP residing on Azure cloud has allowed them to automate resource planning and cut out the manual work required to maintain their information system. As a growing university, it needed upgraded capabilities to increase automation and efficiencies. They have now shifted away from time-consuming manual and paper-based processes to an agile, flexible, and automated system, providing an even more exceptional student experience.
Logan University is now using Unit4 Financial Management to power its finance function, including accounts payables, receivables, and requisitioning – all modelled for higher education. And because Unit4 is built on a native Azure cloud platform, the ERP platform can adapt, expand, and be integrated across the entire university. HR, payroll, and recruitment are all on their agenda for a move to ERP modules, but for now, they are relishing being able to spend more time concentrating on student needs.
Cranfield University’s aging ERP system wasn’t coping with existing pressures and challenges such as changing regulatory and compliance requirements, new fee and funding models, management and process reorganizations, and increasing competition was adding an urgent need to find a better solution.
Unit4 not only worked as partners to provide the right software capabilities but, crucially, Cranfield gained genuine ownership. Its own teams can now implement and keep adapting the solutions to meet changing needs, and end-users can carry out sophisticated, flexible reporting themselves.
Cranfield has saved around 20 days per year of expensive external IT support and more than £1,000,000 in accumulated savings.
