Case Study: Life & Peace Institute achieves faster donor reporting and streamlined financial management with FinanSys

An international peacebuilding organisation reaps significant benefits from SunSystems implemented by FinanSys

Life & Peace Institute is an international peacebuilding organisation (founded 1982) with operations in six countries and 75 staff, funded by donors such as Sida, EU and USAID. The organisation was hampered by an accounting system that forced manual data manipulation and delayed donor reports; they needed multi-company/multi-currency support, complex donor reporting, nine-dimensional transaction strings and Excel upload automation — requirements met by Infor SunSystems and implemented by FinanSys.

FinanSys implemented Infor SunSystems, delivered personalised face-to-face training and ongoing rapid support, and automated reporting and workflows. As a result Life & Peace now completes donor reports at least two weeks earlier, meets audit deadlines for the first time, sees dramatically reduced manual effort and faster financial close, and benefits from 3–5 minute typical support turnaround — outcomes Life & Peace attributes directly to FinanSys.
