Case Study: Shire of Broome achieves efficient, accurate budgeting and easy financial reporting with MAGIQ Software

Shire of Broome - Customer Case Study

The Shire of Broome, a Western Australian local government responsible for a $38.1m annual expenditure and a 190+ person organisation, faced a labour‑intensive, error‑prone budgeting process built on spreadsheets that made it difficult to provide managers with timely, accurate financial information. To address this, the Shire engaged MAGIQ Software and implemented MAGIQ Performance across its core IT Vision Synergy system.

MAGIQ Software deployed MAGIQ Performance for budgeting, reporting and planning and trained around 30 Responsible Officers to input directly into the system, removing double‑handling and days of re‑entry work. As a result, the finance team has reclaimed time for thorough analysis—improving data quality and control—while managers gain self‑service access to reports, cutting ad‑hoc reporting requests and saving the organisation considerable time.
