Case Study: Bellevue University achieves enrollment and revenue growth with Strata Decision Technology's Axiom budgeting and financial planning solution

Bellevue University Growing Enrollment and Revenue with Axiom Budgeting and Financial Planning Solutions

Bellevue University, a nonprofit serving about 13,500 students across five market areas, needed to manage a complex, multi-market tuition and program model—variable pricing, corporate tuition-matching (Campus@Work™), and diverse student segments—while making faster, market-based decisions. To address this, Bellevue implemented Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom budgeting, forecasting, reporting and long-range planning solutions to provide integrated, up-to-date financial and operational data.

Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom automated daily feeds from systems like Salesforce CRM and Oracle PeopleSoft, eliminated manual aggregation, and delivered near real-time reporting through a familiar spreadsheet-like interface. The solution reduced finance headcount (from 4 FTEs to 1.5), reallocated one part-time and two full-time employees, delivered a 60% savings in labor and benefits costs, and improved decision-making effectiveness by 40%, enabling the university to scale successful programs and optimize resource allocation.
