Case Study: Milwaukee Bucks achieve advanced budgeting, personnel planning and NBA-compliant reporting with Prophix Software

A Fast Break for Milwaukee Bucks Finance Team

The Milwaukee Bucks, a long-standing NBA franchise, faced limitations from relying on Excel for budgeting, forecasting and personnel planning. Spreadsheets made payroll budgeting—especially commission, benefits and employment taxes—unreliable, and the team needed a solution that would integrate with their Microsoft Dynamics SL general ledger and meet the NBA’s specific reporting and benchmarking requirements with minimal IT involvement.

By implementing Prophix’s CPM software the Bucks gained full visibility into their finances and can now produce detailed budgets, convert budgets into quarterly forecasts or annual reports, and format actuals to the NBA’s reporting structure. Prophix also enabled robust personnel planning, alternative reporting hierarchies and on-demand project forecasts, significantly improving accuracy, planning speed and the finance team’s ability to benchmark performance.
