A few years ago, the Erie Regional Airport Authority hired James Pacansky as its new CFO and
immediately tasked him with implementing new, more sophisticated financial management
software. “Our auditor had suggested we upgrade for several years in a row, so finding a solution
with better controls and reporting was on my to-do list from day one,” he remembers. “We
evaluated both Microsoft Dynamics GP and Sage Intacct, and my entire team unanimously
selected Sage Intacct because we loved its user-friendly, easy-to-learn interface.”
Soon after graduating to Sage Intacct, the airport’s leadership gained crucial visibility that helped
them monitor and quickly react to industry disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic, while
automated workflows allowed the finance team to speed both the monthly financial close and
quarterly board reporting by more than 93%.
