Case Study: Plymouth College of Art streamlines finance operations with Xledger

Plymouth College of Art streamlines a £16m finance operation with Xledger

Plymouth College of Art, an institution with approximately 1,800 students, faced significant challenges with its overly complex and costly legacy finance system from Unit 4. The college was burdened by multiple support contracts and high overheads, making the system unsustainable to manage and upgrade. They sought a simple, transparent, true cloud solution to streamline operations and reduce costs, leading them to the vendor Xledger.

Xledger implemented its true cloud financial management system, which massively simplified the college's operations by replacing multiple contracts with a single, responsive supplier. The implementation was supported by strong project management and training, allowing the college to go live on time. As a result, Plymouth College of Art achieved significant savings and increased efficiency. The finance office is now so streamlined that it operates its £16m complex business with just 3.4 FTE staff, a feat made possible by Xledger's high levels of automation.
