Case Study: Major Canadian University – Infrastructure Development reduces budgeting time and stress with insightsoftware’s Jet Budgets

Director of Business Systems Transforms Budgeting Process to Reduce Burden on 5 Units (and Self)

Major Canadian University’s Infrastructure Development team, led by Kelly Husband, Director of Project & Planning Business Systems, faced a recurring budgeting crisis: managing quarterly budgets across seven cost centers in Dynamics NAV. Although Kelly was already a user of insightsoftware’s Jet Analytics, the legacy budgeting process relied on Excel, offered no pre‑consolidation visibility or what‑if scenarios, and forced a two‑week scramble to collect manager inputs and finalize numbers.

By implementing insightsoftware’s Jet Budgets for Q3, Kelly had the solution up and running in days, sent individual portfolios to managers, reviewed consolidated views before loading budgets back into NAV, and delegated monthly updates. The insightsoftware deployment delivered immediate transparency into spending and revenues, removed the end‑of‑quarter marathon, and materially reduced time, cost, and stress for Kelly and the affected units.
