Case Study: Columbus Regional Airport Authority achieves secure, accountable budgeting and real-time reporting with Prophix Software

Flying to Financial Freedom with Columbus Regional Airport Authority

Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA), which operates John Glenn Columbus International, Rickenbacker International and Bolton Field airports, was hampered by a homegrown budgeting system built in Microsoft Access and Excel. The antiquated tool created security risks, poor workflow and limited reporting, making it difficult to establish accountability and quickly analyze financial data.

After issuing an RFP, CRAA selected Prophix; its CPM software integrates with Microsoft Dynamics NAV to provide real-time reporting, automated approval workflows, and polished report packages. The solution enabled immediate budget reporting, what‑if airfare scenario analysis, and ongoing variance tracking—resulting in faster budgeting, clearer ownership of budget areas and better ability to control costs and adjust spending.
