Case Study: Swindon College achieves streamlined cloud finance and real-time reporting with Xledger

Swindon College - Customer Case Study

Swindon College, founded in 1843, is a further education provider offering a wide range of vocational and academic courses. In 2015 the college engaged Xledger to replace an archaic on‑premise ERP that required costly custom development, created manual, IT‑dependent finance workflows, lacked browser/web access and reliable connectivity, and had an old‑fashioned, inflexible interface.

Xledger delivered a true cloud, integrated ERP platform with agile forecasting, automated banking and accounting, project accounting, real‑time reporting and quarterly vendor updates. Led by an Xledger consultant, project manager and single account manager, the rollout reduced reliance on IT specialists, cut manual finance tasks, sped up navigation and reporting, and lowered total cost of ownership — giving Swindon College better control of data and improved operational efficiency.
