A nonprofit advisory organization faced integration challenges in finance and operations due to significant growth. The organization partnered with Dynamics Square (USA's trusted Microsoft Dynamics Partner) to review its financial management requirements and implement Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 On-premises version. This addressed grant management, project budgeting, time tracking, financial reporting, and other finance-related challenges.

The implementation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 (or released as Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations back in Nov'16) rapidly improved operations management. Since the implementation of Dynamics AX (now Microsoft Dynamics AX), the nonprofit continues to make a significant impact on millions of lives globally.

Lack of integration among current ERP system's capabilities.

Huge workload of manual processing, maintenance of parallel systems, and extensive reconciliation efforts.

It was laborious to produce reports and generate accurate insights to support decision-making.

Current processes are structured around constraints of the current systems or are the result of "organic" adjustments.

Need to review the organization's financial management system requirements.

Required an independent, objective third-party perspective to take a fresh look at how work is performed from a best practices perspective.

It was needed to streamline grant management, project budgeting, time tracking by project and location, and financial reporting from research centers.
