Cloud-based financial software specialists, ION, are proud to announce their new partnership with Voyage Education Partnership to configure and implement their new financial management software, Sage Intacct for Education. This partnership marks a significant step for Voyage Education Partnership, as they transition to a more advanced financial system to support their ambitious growth plans.
Voyage Education Partnership is a charitable education Multi-Academy Trust based in Lincolnshire, dedicated to working with their 9 primary and secondary academies. The core aim of Voyage Education Partnership is to create centres of excellence within and for the communities they serve, raising the aspirations and achievements of all.
As a growing trust, Voyage was seeking a new finance solution that would support their expansion and streamline their processes, making their finance operations more efficient. They needed a user-friendly, scalable system that could handle their current needs and adapt to future growth. Additionally, they were looking to upgrade to a system with better reporting tools, providing reliable and in-depth metrics.
After a thorough review of the market, Voyage decided to partner with ION to implement their best-in-class education finance system: Sage Intacct for Education. This decision was based on Sage Intacct’s ability to meet Voyage’s specific requirements:
User-Friendly and Scalable System: Sage Intacct for Education is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that all team members can easily adapt to the new system. Its scalability allows it to grow alongside Voyage Education Partnership. New schools and users can easily be added internally in a matter of seconds to accommodate new academies as they join the Trust and eliminate hefty implementation fees from external contractors.
Streamlined Processes and Enhanced Efficiency: Sage Intacct for Education uses advanced automation and AI tools to automate many of the manual processes that previously consumed significant time and resources. This automation reduces the administrative burden on the finance team, allowing them to focus on their growth initiatives. The system also integrates seamlessly with other key applications like MIS and budgeting systems, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Advanced Reporting Tools: Sage Intacct for Education offers robust reporting capabilities enhanced by real-time data and analytics. The comprehensive reporting suite will provide Voyage Education Partnership with reliable up-to-the-minute financial metrics in just a matter of seconds. These advanced tools enable the Trust to gain deeper insights into their financial performance, facilitating better decision-making and strategic planning as the Trust grows in both size and numbers.
