Managing 84 separate programs, each with their own revenue streams and reporting requirements from both the Victorian and Commonwealth governments, VACCHO recognised that its existing accounting system was holding it back due to limited reporting capabilities and the need for extensive paper-based systems.<\/p>\n
VACCHO Director of Business Services, Peter Mitchell, said its old accounting system was not able to meet government reporting requirements. \u201cMYOB didn\u2019t have the depth of reporting in different streams to cover our 84 separate contracts,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile they have some levels of similarity, each has unique requirements. For example, reporting on funding for a community smoking program from the Commonwealth is different from a smoking program funded by the State.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition, health itself covers an incredibly diverse range of activities. We have programs for aged care; NDIS; children; children in care; medical health linkages; smoking; eyes, hearing; diabetes. They all receive separate funding support from government. In\u00a0some instances, funding can go to some ACCHOS, in which cases reporting is more complex. \u201cMYOB required us to have lots of paper-based manual processes to run the business, for things like reimbursements and travel allowances. Also, that system did not enforce that processes such as paying third parties were linked to our governance policies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose limitations were definitely holding us back\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/quote-mark-1-green.png” _builder_version=”4.2.2″ width=”35%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″ header_6_font_size=”16px” header_6_line_height=”2.4em” custom_margin=”-79px|||-14px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||31px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/VACCHO-Peter-Mitchell.jpg” align=”right” _builder_version=”4.2.2″ width=”25%” custom_margin=”-79px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″ header_6_text_color=”#9ab82f” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.2.2″ width=”73%” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”6px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″ header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#9ab82f” header_3_font_size=”28px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After a comprehensive evaluation, VACCHO deployed Microsoft Dynamics NAV, installed and supported by business management software specialists Evolution Business Systems (EBS). Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an easily adaptable enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that helps small and medium sized businesses, including Not-For-Profit organisations such as VACCHO, to automate and connect their sales, purchasing, operations, accounting, and stock control.<\/p>\n Mr Mitchell said Microsoft Dynamics NAV had added significant value to the business. \u201cWe had a small cost to\u00a0<\/span>set up NAV and we pay a similar rate to MYOB to use the service,\u201d he said. \u201cIn real terms, we have gained immensely more value from NAV for this initial investment. Accountants using our NAV system are not just about processing payments and payroll – their primary focus is on management counting and analyst roles. \u201cThe time required for payroll used to be three days a week. Now it takes just three hours. The time we have saved has been invested in the analysis and management of our financial systems. Adoption of the system has been widespread at VACCHO with all 100 people in the organisation using the system<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cNAV\u2019s automated reimbursement of travel expenses and purchase order systems means no more problems from losing pieces of paper or an approving manager being on leave. Each person can request travel automatically or payment approvals through NAV. They can request data and interrogate the system themselves without calling on my team to run reports for them.\u201d<\/p>\n VACCHO sees a big benefit of Dynamics NAV is its fit in Microsoft suite of products. EBS has helped them to move to Office 365 as the optimum solution, giving easy access to the full range of Office apps and enabling comprehensive and detailed reporting to governments.<\/p>\n \u201cFor example, NAV has direct linkages to Excel, so you can call out any information from the system into an easy-to-use format. With systems such as MYOB and Xero, you get what you get. From a NAV perspective, even\u00a0 budgeting is much more flexible than other financial systems.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.2.2″ width=”73%” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”6px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.2.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″ header_3_font=”|300|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#9ab82f” header_3_font_size=”28px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The greatest benefits of Microsoft Dynamics for VACCHO were strategic rather than operational.<\/p>\n \u201cData is the new oil. The more information you can provide about the success of\u00a0what\u2019s going on, the more governments can demonstrate why they have invested in that area. NAV provides the evidence-based reporting that demonstrates the value of projects funded by the money we receive, proving to both governments and our membership that we have advocated for the right projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cNAV has also enabled us to structure our governance policies into our workflows. For example, it ensures that I am not allowed to approve a particular level of Purchase Order unless my manager has approved it. That means more\u00a0questions are asked, not about the payment, but about its application.<\/p>\n \u201cThis creates more transparency for our governance process. As a result of that workflow, our audits are super-easy. In the three years, I\u2019ve been here, we\u2019ve had no major concerns raised.\u201d<\/p>\n Microsoft Dynamics NAV also equips VACCHO to future proof its systems by enabling the deployment of Microsoft Power BI, a Business Intelligence toolset that will provide the organisation with a detailed dashboard of tailored reports by the end of this year.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cThe Power BI tool in Microsoft Office allows us to draw on information to create a dashboard of health outcomes from various programs,\u201d said Mr Mitchell. \u201cWe are constructing reporting that is specific to VACCHO, drawing data from the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) and our own health evidence information best practice databases to align with our needs. Once this BI tool is complete, our team leaders and directors will be able to drill right down to the actual entries in NAV, to the point where they can even load up scanned copies of invoices. \u201cNAV is central to that is because that\u2019s where the funding data sits.\u201d Mr Mitchell said EBS was a responsive partner in the deployment of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. \u201cThey invest time and energy into understanding the business of VACCHO.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″
