Case Study: CompTIA achieves 400+ annual staff-hours saved and faster, more accurate budgeting with Centage

Ease and Flexibility Transform Budgeting Process, Providing Deeper Analysis and Significant Time Savings

The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), a global non-profit that issues IT professional certifications, struggled with an aging budgeting system (Microsoft Forecaster) that frequently locked out international users, couldn’t roll forward prior budgets or use actuals, and forced Finance to build and customize monthly reports manually—consuming significant staff time and creating error-prone processes.

CompTIA replaced it with Centage’s cloud-based, formula-free budgeting and forecasting solution, gaining global access, strict chart-of-accounts controls, multi-currency reporting, and flexible entry of exact values. The result: deeper analysis, far fewer errors, faster what-if modeling, and major time savings—over 400 staff hours saved annually, custom reports created in about 15 minutes (vs. ~1 hour), and line-item changes that now take minutes instead of hours.
