Case Study: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute achieves 40% faster budgeting with Infor Corporate Performance Management

Dana-Farber cuts budget with Infor Corporate Performance Management

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a leading cancer center experiencing rapid patient-volume growth and facility expansion, faced a cumbersome, error-prone budgeting process driven by spreadsheets. Financial and operational leaders found reviewing dozens of cost-center budgets time-consuming and inefficient, creating a critical need for a streamlined, web-based solution with real-time access and detailed healthcare-specific modeling.

Dana-Farber implemented Infor Corporate Performance Management Planning and Budgeting in six to seven months, enabling detailed salary and patient-revenue budgeting, drill-down analysis, and universal web access. The change cut the budget cycle from five months to three (a 40% reduction), sped monthly variance reporting and decision-making, reduced paper and manual effort, and improved financial accountability and operational analysis across cost centers.
