Case Study: University of Kentucky achieves streamlined budgeting and more accurate tuition planning with Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom platform

How the University of Kentucky Improved Budgeting Efficiency and Tuition Planning Accuracy

The University of Kentucky needed scalable budgeting software to consolidate forecasting across 18 academic and professional colleges and a mix of funding sources and decentralized business units. The university chose Strata Decision Technology and its Axiom™ platform (Axiom Budgeting and Forecasting and Axiom Tuition Planning) to build on prior tuition modeling work and to support complex what‑if tuition scenarios during the pandemic.

Strata Decision Technology implemented Axiom to centralize budget data, integrate reporting with the academic medical center, and reduce reliance on error-prone spreadsheets. The platform cut hundreds of hours of manual work, improved tuition projection accuracy, and delivered an estimated 10–15% efficiency gain for the university.
