Moving to Advanced ERP to Build Efficiency and Streamline Financial Operations
Founded more than 100 years ago, Universidad de Concepción is a private university and one of the most prestigious higher education institutions in Chile. Managed by Corporación Universidad de Concepción, the organization aims to contribute to regional development and operates several other institutions, including Instituto Profesional Virginio Gómez, Centro de Formación Técnica Lota Arauco, and Lotería de Concepción. Looking to modernize its financial operations, the university devised a digital strategy with goals to improve corporate financial accounting and standardize financial processes while establishing a single real-time source of data. The university also wanted to adopt best practices and encourage operational traceability. To bring this strategic vision to life, Universidad de Concepción set out to move to next-generation ERP
