Case Study: Gates Cambridge streamlines charity finance reporting with IRIS Financials

Gates Cambridge - Customer Case Study

Gates Cambridge, a trust providing scholarships to postgraduate students at the University of Cambridge, faced significant challenges with its outdated Sage system. The software was not user-friendly, could not store essential non-financial student data, and required a heavily manual and arduous reporting process reliant on Excel. Seeking a new solution, Director of Finance David Lott turned to the IRIS Software Group.

The trust implemented IRIS Financials, a solution praised for its intuitive interface and flexibility. The implementation was quick, with historical data uploaded and new functionality set up to track individual student accounts and manage multiple currencies. The result was a streamlined process that eliminated manual reporting, provided powerful analysis capabilities, and offered a future-proof system with free updates. David Lott confirmed it was a positive experience and that he would certainly recommend the IRIS system.
