Hathaway Sycamores

Blackbaud Empowers Hathaway-Sycamores to Complete a Very Complex Merger with a Similar Organization Quickly

Since it was founded as Pasadena, California’s first orphanage in 1902, Hathaway-Sycamores has been helping children and families build on their strengths. To help children and families deal with societal pressures and challenges, Hathaway-Sycamores has developed and expanded its services to include a broad array of mental health programs that are designed to meet the needs of those who struggle to manage their illnesses.

The Challenge:
Staff members at Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services received word that their organization would merge with a similar organization. Hathaway-Sycamores had previously completed its complex cost allocations without a financial software system, but with the changes presented by the merger, implementing one would be necessary.

The Solution:
Staff members reviewed and chose Blackbaud’s Advanced Budget Management™ on a recommendation and quickly deployed an integrated financial system.  

The Results:
Blackbaud’s implementation team met Hathaway-Sycamores’ relatively short time requirements, and the system was operational in days. Hathaway-Sycamores was able to complete the merger on schedule and produce financial reports for November through December with a new general ledger by January. Shortly after implementation, the staff deployed the system to everyone in the organization. Customized views of the system met users’ specific needs and provided real-time information with complete drill-down capability, and individual departments were able to model and create their annual budgets. The system transformed accounting data into decision making power, enabling Hathaway-Sycamores to better serve their clients and focus on their mission.
