United Church of Christ, Congregational, Burlington

Paragon Customizes Efficient, Financial Controls and Reporting System.

The church needed to move to a system that provided more efficient accounting, controls and reports – generated by various volunteers. It was also important to have a solution that did not depend upon on-premise computers as well as have the ability for frequent upgrades. Paragon implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP.

“We would never have been able to make the transition from cumbersome reporting and tracking in Excel so successful without the exceptional support of Paragon.”

Scenario
The small church was not using any financial software. Reports were created and maintained using Microsoft Excel. All records were on paper, and it was cumbersome to look up and track past income or expenditures.

Paragon implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP, providing an integrated module based accounting system which strengthened the company’s financial controls and allowed a more efficient financial close process. Microsoft Dynamics GP, along with financial reporting management tools and Microsoft Office tools, are all hosted in the cloud, accessible to the Nanigans team anywhere, anytime – via Paragon Cloud.

“As we grew as a company, so did our need for better financial controls. Paragon delivered with Microsoft Dynamics GP via Paragon Cloud. The support has been the difference maker for me personally. We have reached out with technical problems and report writing requirements, and nothing has ever stumped the client support group. We have had consistent support with Paragon that has far exceeded my expectations.”

Cartera Commerce

Cartera Commerce Simplifies General Ledger by Moving to the Paragon Cloud.

Karen Cambray, Chief Financial Officer of Cartera Commerce said, “I was formerly the CFO at a company that was migrating from Quick Books to Great Plains. Paragon Cloud did a fantastic job converting us to Great Plains quickly and accurately. It was a complicated integration, but I had such a positive experience that when I became CFO at Cartera I brought Paragon along with me. They’ve been helping us with our accounting systems for almost seven years.”

“We questioned why we were using our own hardware and hosting the system ourselves. It’s not a core competency for our IT guys, so it made sense to have Paragon upgrade the system to Microsoft Dynamics GP and move it to the Paragon Cloud.”

Scenario
Old version of Great Plains software that was no longer supported by Microsoft.
