Case Study: Essex Probation achieves flexible, cost-effective public sector accounting with Aqilla

Meeting Public Sector Accounting Requirements with Cloud Based Solution

Essex Probation needed to prepare its financial systems for a major government-led reform that could require the organization to split and manage multiple sets of accounts. Their legacy accounting system was costly, inflexible, and constrained their reporting capabilities. To gain control and reduce costs, the finance team, led by Debbie Came, chose to implement the cloud-based accounting solution from Aqilla.

Aqilla provided a flexible and economical system that could be scaled up or down as needed, allowing Essex Probation to easily add new business entities without extra hardware costs. The implementation was straightforward, with the team finding the switch easy despite their lack of experience with other systems. The solution gave them complete control over their accounting, improved their detailed budget reporting, and resulted in lower costs, all while providing excellent support from the Aqilla team.
