Case Study: A.T. Still University improves budgeting transparency and collaboration with XLerant BudgetPak

A.T. Still University streamlines budgeting with XLerant across 6 colleges

A.T. Still University, a rapidly growing graduate health sciences institution, faced significant budgeting challenges as it expanded from a single college to a multi-campus university. Its manual, Excel-based process was siloed and lacked transparency, making strategic planning and zero-based budgeting difficult. The finance team needed a tool to foster collaboration and communication. They turned to XLerant and implemented its BudgetPak solution.

XLerant's BudgetPak provided the transparent, collaborative platform ATSU required. The solution allowed detailed budget line-item tracking, dismantled departmental silos, and made managing a complex 5-year zero-based budgeting cycle achievable. The implementation fostered strong partnerships between academic and finance leaders, giving managers ownership of their budgets. As a result, ATSU achieved widespread buy-in for its strategic financial plan and significantly improved the entire budgeting process.
