Case Study

RCSA Unifies Financial Operations with Custom Cloud Platform

RCSA modernized financial operations across a global school network by centralizing data, automating approvals, and enabling real-time reporting.

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.

Results

  • Enabled faster, more strategic decision-making with real-time financial data.
  • 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.
  • Generated demand for additional modules before formal release.
