Meeting challenges facing the Finance team
Sector: Colleges
At a time when there is increasing pressure to derive value from funds
available, where change is a constant, and where accountability is paramount,
most Finance teams spend more time than they would like wrestling with
spreadsheets and reacting to queries. There is precious little time left to
contribute to issues of organisation management and overall direction.
LAKE provide solutions for all sizes of organisations in the Education
sector. We combine sector expertise with market-leading financials and web based
purchasing to release you from the routine cycle of accounting and reporting.
LAKE solutions help you improve financial control, streamline processes and
manage risk.
Share information and collaborate with staff, managers, funding partners and
suppliers
Reports can be tailored so that information can be delivered and viewed in
the format and style managers require.
The LAKE SunSystems solution employs portal self-service technologies to
deliver management information and dashboards to staff, managers, funding
partners, and suppliers, helping them collaborate to drive the organisation
forward.
Monitor the performance of every aspect of the organisation
With a LAKE solution managers can analyse activity mapped against their own
unique Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) and dimensions such as department,
site, project, funding source, course, person, etc.
Produce financial and management reports
at the click of a mouse
At the click of a mouse the LAKE SunSystems solution allows you to produce
reports from the same underlying database for all interested stakeholders;
including the Senior Management, committees, budget-holders, staff, the public,
the tax authorities, etc.
Streamline the buying process and control spend
Web based purchasing is easily deployed to bring non-pay spend under control.
It provides managers and staff with complete visibility of the cost pipeline and
validates every purchase request and commitment against budget at any level,
such as department, course or project. At the same time, transparent processes
and sophisticated approval-routing, guarantee improved governance within a
clear, structured, controlled spending policy.
Improve efficiency and integrity with systems integration
LAKE has extensive experience of integrating SunSystems with other
applications. A SunSystems solution tightly integrated with Student Records,
Payroll, and Human Resources will reduce error and improve productivity.
