Case Study: City of Gold Coast achieves improved budgeting quality and efficiency with MAGIQ Software

City of Gold Coast - Customer Case Study

The City of Gold Coast, the second largest local government in Australia with around 3,500 staff, faced slow, error-prone budgeting because its SAP Financial Systems were not integrated with an in‑house budgeting tool. This made it hard for departments to participate and for Finance to deliver timely, accurate budgets, so the Council engaged MAGIQ Software and implemented the MAGIQ Performance suite to address these gaps.

MAGIQ Software integrated MAGIQ Performance with the Council’s SAP systems to provide a single, consistent source of budgeting data and a unified organisational structure. The solution improved the quality and efficiency of budgeting across the organisation, delivered considerable time-savings in gathering and building data, and freed finance staff to focus on strategic analysis and planning, with MAGIQ Software continuing to provide day‑to‑day support.
