Challenges
Outdated Systems Limits Growth and Efficiency
Fund EZ was cloud-supported rather than fully cloud-based, limiting scalability and system reliability. The daily high transaction volumes caused significant slowdowns, with batch postings and reports taking hours to complete. As the organization expanded, Fund EZ could no longer support growing client volumes, program complexity, and OPWDD reporting requirements. Leadership increasingly relied on manual workarounds, signaling the organization had outgrown the system.

The platform had scalability, ensuring performance as the client base and services expand. Real-time, multi-dimensional reporting could meet OPWDD CFR reporting compliance with ease. Finally, automation features, such as approvals, allocations, reconciliations, replace manual work and reduce errors.
