The California Dental Association (CDA) is adopting the Lawson S3 Enterprise Financial Management suite and Lawson Business Intelligence, according to Lawson.
The CDA is using the Lawson products to replace its disparate finance applications with a central, consolidated system that will help it increase efficiency and focus more resources on growing its membership using Lawson Professional Services to manage the implementation, Lawson said.
The CDA has more than 25,000 members, representing more than 70% of dentists practicing in the state. The organization, comprising five entities including an insurance company, had been using two separate general ledger applications, Lawson said.
"This burdened accounting with several manual processes and did not provide the up-to-date financial data that management needed to run each business unit as efficiently as it needed," the company said in a press release. "To help improve efficiency, CDA wanted to consolidate its various applications into a central general ledger system."
The S3 Financial Management Suite will help CDA improve transparency of business processes and reduce costs by standardizing the chart of accounts and company structures, Lawson said.
The CDA also uses Lawson Business Intelligence for customized reports and distribution. The company said this will help provide CDA leaders with a more complete view of information, allowing them to analyze operational processes faster, make decisions, and enter those decisions back into operational systems to help capitalize on business opportunities.
