Not looking back a second!
It is very user friendly product, easy to understand and maintain. The dashboards in the admin and user sites are very helpful. I've never met a team that is so proud and excited about what they are doing, keeping up with the latest developments in the software environment and their clients needs. In the more than 11 years working with the IDU team I never experience once a negative vibe or unwillingness to give assistance and support.
PROSThe adaptability of the product, it can be easily adapted to your needs when it is coming to budgeting and reporting.
CONSThere is no features that I like least. I would like for us to investigate the option to do workforce planning via IDU.
Reason for choosing IDU-Concept
Our alternative product was the use of excel spread sheets as many other businesses used and is still using. I love using excel but cannot imagine going back to all those stand alone excel spread sheets.

IDU - is great!!
We had a successful implementation. IDU's customer service is really good. IDU consultants supported us well and IDU staff are solution oriented.
PROSIt intuitive and easy to use. Running reports is quick. It was easy to integrate with our processes.
CONSThere are a number of customised reports and one needs to go through quite a long list to see what is relevant for needs. Perhaps group into headings.
Reason for choosing IDU-Concept
total cost and affordability, ability to meet functional requirements, local vendor/local support, user-friendliness of system, installations at other Universities/Higher Education institutions, vendor demonstrations.
Reasons for switching to IDU-Concept
The budgeting and reporting systems and processes, although effective in achieving the desired end result, were cumbersome, hugely labour intensive, inefficient, requiring a large amount of manual resource interface, and time consuming. It was difficult to revise budgets quickly to respond to changes and scenarios, and thus lacked the appropriate agility in our operational and strategic context.
Vendor Response
Dear Delfina Thank you so much for your review of idu-Concept, and specifically for your comments about having received great service. I will pass on your compliments to our team. Thank you also for the suggestion about the grouping the reports under headings. Our development team will look into how we can make this easier for you. Kind regards The IDU Team

Telesure Review
Frustrating.
PROSIt is basic - but this is a problem as we are told it cannot be used to perform some more complex budgeting.
CONSIt is not capabal of being utilised to its full potential for our entity. We are constantly struggling to do full budgets as a result of our complex premiums and claims process and thus we can only perform and use certain functionality.

Experience Review
Very pleased with the system as it reduce preparation time of forecast and budgets for us. The system also allowed us to budget and forecast at a granule level were we where not possible to do it in the past nor in a short time frame. It also increased efficiency as preparation time has moved to reviewing of data.
PROSThe customization of the system, contiguously improvement of the system, Standardization of reports available, version control.
CONSThe complexity of certain functions, like Activity mapping between attributes, etc. Financial Modeling not allowing multiple structure to be used when top down functionality are being used. Not able to have hybird structure within account and cost centre structures.
Reason for choosing IDU-Concept
Unable to list reason as I was unfortunately was not part of the team making the decision.

Best add-on to you financial system
IDU has made reporting, budgeting & forecasting an administrative dream for my department. I would highly recommend IDU for any business, big or small.
PROSEasy to use for non-financial users. Ability to adapt and customize system to suit our business on a continuous basis. Easy to understand system & use it in our day to day business for reporting & decision making. Admin ability to create, change or update anything, without depending on IDU consultants. Feedback & assistance from Helpdesk & Consultants are always fast & effective!
CONSThat I cannot see 'back-end' rules to make sure it is in line with my expectations. IDU is very fiscal set restricted (causing duplication of work & errors to occur). Structures is also very specific, again duplication of work (would be nice to have a 'main' set up where all structures feed from).
