Case Study: St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences achieves reliable financial data and 30 days of annual time savings with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences - Customer Case Study

FH St. Pölten, an Austrian university of applied sciences with about 3,200 students and 330 employees, had outgrown spreadsheet-based processes and needed an integrated system to plan employee and student working hours and salaries, allocate and balance federal/state/municipal subsidies, create budgets and manage roughly 90–100 concurrent projects.

Implementing Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) in a phased approach—starting with budgeting then reporting—added plan/actual and year‑on‑year comparisons and an accounting interface for receipt‑level drilldowns. The university now performs employee‑level HR budgeting, detailed subsidy and multi‑project planning, benefits from clear dashboards and drill‑downs, enjoys improved data reliability, and saves about 30 man‑days per year, freeing teams for higher‑value work.
