Located just one hour north of Edmonton, Alberta, Westlock County, is one of the province’s richest in agricultural lands producing grains, cereals, hay, and livestock. Plus, the region offers first-class outdoor recreational activities including campgrounds, parks, ski hill, and golf courses.
The result of the merger of five smaller municipal districts (1943), Westlock County serves a population of 7,644, and an annual budget of $19.6 million.
As a former Questica Budget customer, the Director of Corporate Services was very familiar with the budgeting planning improvements it could bring to Westlock County, including:
- Time savings – moving the focus away from lengthy budget preparation to better analysis and planning
- Scenario planning – unlimited what-if scenarios and decision packages
- Multi-year budgeting and forecasting – will allow the County to better plan for the future
- No more Excel pain – by eliminating spreadsheets means greater data accuracy and budgeting efficiency.
After a software demonstration, the County chose Questica Budget’s Operating and Salaries modules. Questica Budget will integrate with their Aptean’s iCity financial system.
