Lakeside Programs Technology Modernization Case Study

This case study outlines how Lakeside Programs modernized its finance, student support, and security operations through a partnership with Quisitive, leveraging Microsoft technologies. As Lakeside expanded its services for at-risk youth, it faced challenges with legacy systems that hindered operational efficiency. The document details the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to centralize financial operations, replacing manual processes with automated workflows, which improved visibility and reporting. Additionally, the integration of Power Platform applications streamlined student services by consolidating previously fragmented data into a single automated environment. The case study also highlights a focused six-month engagement aimed at enhancing cloud security and governance, which standardized security practices across the organization. The partnership with Quisitive allowed Lakeside to access specialized expertise on demand, resulting in a connected, scalable, and secure Microsoft ecosystem that supports its growing needs.
