Challenge
- RCSA managed fragmented financial systems across dozens of institutions in 19 countries.
- Duplicated records and manual workflows created significant process overhead.
- Budget approvals and decision-making were slowed by operational bottlenecks.
- Finance teams lacked clear, real-time visibility into key financial data.
- A centralized automated solution was needed to scale with internal processes.
Solution
- Ensitech co-developed a cloud-based Financial Management Platform (FMP) with RCSA.
- The platform used Microsoft Azure and Power Platform tools.
- Data integration was implemented through Azure Data Factory and Logic Apps.
- A centralized Azure SQL Server data model supported reporting and APIs.
- An interactive application handled budgeting, forecasting, MPY, and CAPEX.
- Automated approval workflows removed process bottlenecks.
- Power BI delivered real-time dashboards for decision support.
- Role-based access control was managed through Azure Security Groups.
- The platform was designed collaboratively around RCSA's network dynamics and internal structure.

- Reduced manual errors and duplicated records through automation.
- Improved operational efficiency across finance, HR, IT, and leadership teams.
- Strengthened transparency and control with robust reporting tools.
- Achieved strong user adoption, including among initially hesitant teams.
