University of North Texas System Simplifies Budgets, Uses Data to Guide Decisions with Axiom Long-Range Planning

The University of North Texas System faced slow, Excel‑dependent long‑range planning and frequent requests from its Board for multi‑year forecasts. To modernize and make decisions more data-driven, the University adopted Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom Long‑Range Planning (LRP) to create an integrated, transparent planning process that links budgets, financial statements, and strategic plans.

Using Strata Decision Technology’s Axiom LRP, UNT System now runs driver‑based scenarios in minutes instead of a full day, modeled four COVID‑impact scenarios, evaluated dormitory options, and produced five‑year plans with accompanying financial ratios for the Board. The solution improved visibility and speed for decision‑makers, enabled objective, data‑backed approvals or rejections of initiatives, and materially increased planning efficiency and financial transparency.
