CEnet Australia, the Catholic Education Network, provides Information, Communication, and Learning Technology (ICLT) services to Catholic schools across Australia. Founded in 2002 and renamed in 2005, CEnet supports high-quality education through technology and collaboration among its member dioceses. It offers professional development events, online learning resources, and various technological infrastructure services tailored to the specific needs of each school community.

The Challenge

As CEnet continues to bring on more dioceses across Australia, their current Excel-based planning system struggles to keep up. Modelling the financial impact of these changes is challenging, necessitating a shift to a more robust solution. The current system’s limitations hinder the accuracy and efficiency of financial planning and reporting, making it difficult to manage revenue planning and cost allocations effectively.

CEnet is adopting Workday Adaptive Planning through GK Horizons’ Jump Start program. This program ensures a quick, low-cost implementation for accurate financial planning and reporting, integrated with CEnet’s TechOne system.
