Replacement Finance System - Microsoft Dynamics NAV Demo
Presentation
Minutes:
The
Board welcomed Robin Parkin and Yvonne Jennings to the meeting to demonstrate
the new finance system called Microsoft Dynamics NAV. This would replace the
current system at the beginning of April 2017. The system would come with
bilingual functionality and provide an integrated self-service reporting
feature, being able to drill down into committed spend. A second package of
reporting would be available in phase II of release. Reconciled transactional data from the current
system would be imported to retain past information and enable reporting on
long term trends.
As
well as being an easier and better system to use, with efficiency features such
as an automated invoice capturing system and electronic remittances, it would
mean service areas could access information themselves, enabling the Finance
team to change their focus from manual tasks to analysis and support.
The
project is currently user acceptance testing with training of service area
finance staff in March, close to when they need to use the system, and
individually with teams to meet their specific needs.
