Case Study: FH Campus Wien achieves streamlined planning, faster budgeting and 75% more students managed with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Better Planning ,budgeting, analysis and growth with Unit 4

FH Campus Wien, Austria’s largest university of applied sciences (about 7,000 students, €60m turnover) was struggling with rapid growth and an Excel-based budgeting system that created data silos, error-prone manual transfers, slow processes and limited visibility. The institution needed a secure, scalable single source of truth to standardize budgeting, link financial and quantitative KPIs, and support faster strategic decision-making.

By implementing Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis in 2013, FH Campus Wien centralized finances, planning and analysis into an intuitive, customizable platform that automatically imports actuals, delivers KPIs and monthly target/actual comparisons, and supports cost-center and project reporting. The result: faster budget creation and decisions, high user acceptance with no extensive training, expanded functionality for research and projects, and the ability to manage roughly 75% more students with the same resources.
