Avanade to Help Ducks Unlimited Canada on its Digital Transformation Journey (HITS)
Avanade is working with Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) on its digital journey to optimize the conservation nonprofits’ financial management systems. Through the flexible, reliable and scalable new cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP platform, DUC will experience enhanced visibility into valuable information and data of its national, provincial and regional operations. The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution on Microsoft Azure will replace DUC’s legacy financial software system that has been in place for more than three decades. By leveraging a cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics AX solution, DUC will be able to access the solution from any device at any time with the ability to scale as needed. Additionally, DUC will be able to analyze data more efficiently and accurately than ever before with real-time access to financial reports.
“As Canada’s leading conservation organization, effectively tracking the level of donation and donor and partner contributions are paramount to our conservation outcomes, and Microsoft Dynamics AX allows us to do just that. The reporting also allows agile and efficient decision making to ensure we are optimizing resources.” said Marcy Sullivan, Chief Financial Officer, Ducks Unlimited Canada. “Avanade’s experience working with nonprofit organizations, their implementation methodology, and the team’s unprecedented understanding of the new Microsoft Dynamics AX, were key factors in our choice to work with them.”
With more than 500 ERP clients worldwide and 1,200 ERP experts, Avanade with Accenture is the world’s largest Microsoft Dynamics AX partner.
“We are delighted to bring our digital transformation experience to Ducks Unlimited Canada,” said Jeff Gilchrist, general manager, Avanade Canada. “This ERP solution builds on the already robust collaboration system in place and will further enhance real-time informed decision making. This is our first implementation of the new Microsoft Dynamics AX solution in Canada and we are proud that it is with an organization that is doing so much for our environment.”
