Skokie, IL - (PRWEB) January 11, 2016 -- Kaufman Hall, a leading provider of management consulting services and enterprise performance management software, today announced an increase in demand for its higher education solutions. With mounting pressures on enrollment and tuition, uncertain future funding, and emerging competitive disruption, today’s higher education institutions require their finance teams to not only better manage revenues and costs, but to become more strategic advisors. This means an evolution towards spending less time on data aggregation and more time on value-added analytics and reporting, including the use of initiative-based scenario modeling to aid the development of more effective long-range plans.

Kaufman Hall is helping senior business officers and finance professionals in higher education meet these challenges through a unique combination of consulting expertise in financial management best practices and its Axiom EPM performance management software suite. The result is long-range planning, debt management and operating budgeting coming together in a single unified approach where university business officers set overall financial targets to support the school's mission and aspirations, and then operationalize those high-level plans into budgets, forecasts and analytics to course-correct as conditions change. Universities working with Kaufman Hall to improve performance management include Tufts University, Emory University, Northwestern University, University of Kentucky, University of New England, Furman University, George Washington University, the University of Toledo, Yale University, Stanford University, and Bellevue University.

“Our higher education customers find tremendous value in working with a partner that provides both expertise and tailored software solutions based on years of experience implementing best-practice solutions for hundreds of universities and academic medical centers across the country,” said Charles Kim, Managing Director and head of the Higher Education practice at Kaufman Hall. “We are dedicated to providing a consistent approach for disciplined financial planning, combined with sophisticated, easy to use software that enables institutions to effectively plan and manage performance in both the short- and long-term.”

Axiom EPM, Kaufman Hall’s integrated planning software, enables higher education finance teams to streamline processes institution-wide by consolidating financial and operational data from multiple sources, from which detailed department or executive-level reports can be produced. The suite includes solutions for long-range planning, budgeting and forecasting, reporting and analytics, enrollment planning, grant planning, capital planning and student financial aid planning.

Increasingly, more institutions are looking to leverage cloud technology to help eliminate overhead time and expenses, optimize system performance, streamline upgrades and cut down on implementation timeframes. “We faced aggressive timelines to implement, and the cloud offering from Axiom EPM helped us stay on track without having to spend time setting up any sort of on-premise infrastructure,” said Steve Lisa, ERP Manager at Tufts University. “We felt comfortable and confident that it was absolutely the right direction to go, not only because of the time to deploy, but also because of the security, quick data integration and end-user access it provided us.”

“Through our work with leading academic institutions, we have proven the ability to effectively support the higher education market in strategically managing financial outcomes and leveraging analytics for improved decision making,” said Kim. “We look forward to expanding our work in helping public and private institutions improve the way they manage financial performance in uncertain times.”
