whitepaper Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation Implements Powerful Financial System2006-11-01 Microsoft
  Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation (SASC) operates 14 schools that together provide education for more than 10,000 students. By running the schools' day-to-day finances from a central office, SASC allows teachers and principals to focus on education. The Corporation wanted to replace its specialist student and financial administration package, which caused too much unscheduled downtime, was based on outdated technology and had limited reporting capabilities. Taking a best-of-breed approach, SASC and Microsoft Certified Partner Acumen Alliance implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP for its finances and integrated the system with a new student administration package. The new system is reliable, robust, scalable and easy to use, helping reduce total cost of ownership. It provides powerful reporting capabilities and allows SASC to add new functionality as needed.
