Case Study: Union County College achieves faster, more collaborative budgeting with XLerant

Union County College - Customer Case Study

Union County College, a community college in Cranford, New Jersey, needed to replace a slow, manual budgeting process that relied on paper forms, Excel workbooks, and repeated rekeying. The college’s finance team, led by Director of Budgeting Donna Farlow, struggled with time-consuming checks, limited visibility, and difficulty involving non-financial users in planning. XLerant’s BudgetPak was selected to create a more centralized and easier-to-use budgeting system.

XLerant implemented BudgetPak with training and GL integration that made it easy to load actuals and export final budgets. The result was a more collaborative process with faculty input, better documentation of assumptions, and easier access to historical data and comparisons. Union County College estimated budgeting time would be cut by 50%, and the new system won over skeptical users because it was simple to use.
