MultiCare Health System is a leading not-for-profit health organization that provides patient care for communities in the Pacific Northwest.

Following an organization-wide cost reduction mandate and the upcoming retirement of a key accounting staff member, the MultiCare team began its search for a solution to help reduce costs without adding additional headcount. Simultaneously, the accounting team struggled to compensate for a manual month-end reconciliation process that was challenging to track, and at times, yielded unexpected anomalies despite the team’s diligent efforts.

MultiCare evaluated several automated close and reconciliation solutions including BlackLine, Lawson, and SkyStem; ultimately selecting to implement SkyStem’s ART. Read on to learn how ART helped MultiCare save money and streamline their month-end close.
