Cloud-Based ERP Implementation for Catholic Order of Foresters

This case study details the implementation of a cloud-based ERP system at the Catholic Order of Foresters, a fraternal benefit society founded in 1883. The organization sought to replace its aging on-premises ERP solution, Microsoft Great Plains, which had been in use for over 20 years and was inadequate for remote work during the pandemic. The new system, NetSuite, was chosen for its ability to integrate data seamlessly and provide a stable platform for remote employees. The case study outlines the challenges faced by the organization, including low interest rates affecting profitability and the need for a comprehensive approval workflow. It also highlights the support provided by Prophet One during the implementation process. The anticipated benefits of the new system include improved audit processes, better user role management, and enhanced visibility into financial transactions. The organization aims to ensure operational continuity and support its growing membership through this digital transformation.
