Case Study: Western Wisconsin Health achieves 80% faster monthly close and greater financial transparency with Strata Decision Technology's Axiom

Smooth Sailing Ahead for Western Wisconsin Health and Axiom

Western Wisconsin Health faced the challenge of moving from static, backward-looking Excel reports to a forward-looking, transparent financial planning process after its ERP upgrade. CFO Adam Gingery wanted reliable, actionable forecasts and clearer accountability across managers, the board and auditors, so the organization turned to Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom Rolling Forecasting and Axiom Performance Reporting to deliver that forward-looking insight.

Strata Decision Technology implemented Axiom modules following the ERP upgrade, enabling faster analysis, rolling forecasts and performance dashboards; adoption was rapid and widespread. The result: monthly close time dropped 80% (from 25 to 5 days), audit report efficiency improved by about 15% in year one (with 30–40% gains projected), and financial literacy and transparency across managers, the board and auditors materially increased, supporting better, data-driven decisions.
