Case Study: Sentara Healthcare achieves faster, automated budgeting and reporting with Strata Decision Technology

Sentara Healthcare - Customer Case Study

Sentara Healthcare, a not-for-profit health system serving Virginia and northeastern North Carolina with 10 acute care hospitals and a large medical staff, was struggling with time-consuming manual budgeting and reporting that limited finance’s ability to do analysis. To address this, Sentara selected Strata Decision Technology’s enterprise performance management (EPM) solution — a finance-first, Excel-friendly platform designed to streamline processes and improve transparency.

Strata Decision Technology implemented its EPM platform to automate data imports, budgeting and flex budgeting, enabling Sentara to recalculate all budgets in about 45 minutes (versus four+ hours previously) and complete flex budgeting in roughly 35 minutes. The solution improved error tracing, reduced reliance on IT, sped up customized reporting, and delivered substantial productivity gains and potential thousands of dollars in staff-time savings, backed by rapid, high-quality support from Strata Decision Technology.
