“Like many local governments, Metro Vancouver is constantly seeking improvements in its processes and to better the quality of information provided to its stakeholders,” says Phil Trotzuk, CFO, Metro Vancouver. “We are very excited about the functionality and flexibility that Unit 4 Business World will bring to our financial operations and the efficiencies that will be realized.”
Implementing Business World will enable Metro Vancouver to streamline and automate many functions, while providing an environment that can be configured in-house as business realities change.
